If you thought rubbing noses with an Alaskan bear is pretty crazy, seeing this picture of a 33-year-old man receiving a big, sloppy kiss from a 6-year-old tiger – and being quite happy about it – might make you want to reconsider your take on what normal behavior is all about.

The tiger featured in the picture above is named Mulan. It currently lives together with its master, Abdullah Sholeh, in Malang, Indonesia.

Daily Mail tells us that the two met when Abdullah was asked by the tiger's owner, a man by the name Noer Muhammad Shole, to look after the feline.

At that time, Mulan was just three months old. In time, the two became inseparable, and now appear to greatly love and value one another.

In fact, it would appear that, rather than sleeping in his own bed, 33-year-old Abdullah much prefers resting alongside the feline in the latter's enclosure.
