Giancarlo Stanton takes a break from hitting homers to cuddle with adorable tiger cub

When he's not busy launching home runs out into orbit or destroying motor vehicles in junkyards or dancing to Queen Bey, Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton apparently loves to cuddle with exotic animals. Like many of the teams in Major League Baseball, the Marlins had Monday off, so Stanton and teammate A.J. Ramos elected to spend the day getting their Jack Hanna on at Miami's Zoological Wildlife Foundation.

According to ZWF owner Maria Tabraue's Instagram, Stanton and Ramos took a private tour on Monday. Luckily for everyone with eyes and hearts, the subsequent photographs were posted to Instagram for all of us to "aww" over.

P.S. Stanton earns a big +1 for the Optimus Prime T-shirt, unless he liked Dark of the Moon, in which case: -EleventyBillion.
