Don't let this show of roar emotion fool you, Tony the tiger reckons swimming is just g-r-r-eat.

Unlike most cats, tigers enjoy splashing about, although Tony still took a few people by surprise when he dived into a 30ft pool.

He even managed to stay under for an impressive 40 seconds at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Zoo, in San Francisco, California. Fangs-tastic!

Indian photographer, Mukul Soman, who now lives in Seattle, took the incredible picture.
