   This is the remarkable moment when a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl.

   Photographer Dyrk Daniels noticed the 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger had taken an interest in the child, who was leaning against his glass enclosure.

   As the tiger, called Taj, headed over to her, Mr Daniels got his camera ready, expecting him to snarl and bang against the glass.

   ‘I noticed that Taj had taken an interest in the girl and was heading towards her.

   ‘I thought for certain that the little girl would need therapy after the encounter and fear cats for the rest of her life.

   ‘I could not believe my eyes when Taj approached the girl, bowed his head and then placed his huge right paw exactly in front of where the little girl’s left hand was.

   ‘It was incredible to watch. Taj let down his right paw, rubbed his cheek against the glass where the little girl’s face was and moved off.’

   Far from being scared, the little girl was so excited that she started clapping as she walked back afterwards towards her mother. 

   ‘I have never seen such tenderness from such a large predator,’ Mr Daniels said.
