IIRC one of the reasons videos like this are interesting is that lions are extremely social animals and tigers just aren't.

BBC just out out a nature documentary about a group of tigers in the wild that includes footage that is thought to be "the first recorded case of a tiger caring for another mother's cubs in the wild"

I love seeing stuff like this. Partly for seeing new behaviors that haven't been seen before, and partly for seeing the absolute unfiltered joy and enthusiasm on the researcher's faces when they discover something new. Like that video where they got pictures and video of that pheasant that hadn't been seen in over 100 years.
