Some old videos deserve a re-share.
At least that’s how the Nashville Zoo feels about a certain clip a guest captured featuring one of the facility’s tigers.
Zoo guest Michelle Wolfe stopped by the zoo’s Tiger Crossroads exhibit in October 2019, where she got to see a Sumatran tiger’s attempt at carrying a jack-o'-lantern, according to South West News Service.

"Wait for it," the Nashville Zoo captioned the video on Tuesday, Oct. 26, which it shared across its Facebook and Instagram.
"If you need us, we'll be watching this #TigerTuesday video on repeat all week," the zoo continued.
The tiger in question – Frances – can be seen sniffing the carved pumpkin before she tries to carry it off by its stem. Unlucky for her, only the carved-off top goes with her while the smiling pumpkin remains still on a stone perch. The clip has been viewed more than 28,290 times in the last week.

"[She] thought [she] had the whole thing," one commenter wrote. "Bless [her] heart."
"Happiness at its best," another chimed in.
"Run pumpkin run," another user joked.
Fox News reached out to Wolfe and Nashville Zoo representatives for comment.

While this isn’t the first time the zoo has shared Wolfe’s video, it appears to be the first time it’s achieved viral status.
The Nashville Zoo previously shared the nine-second clip in 2019 to promote its American Association of Zookeepers nonprofit chapter and again in 2020 to promote its pumpkin sponsorship program, which benefitted Bat Conservation International.
