Even tigers at the zoo love playing with a ball – as proven in a video shared by Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium Friday.

With a caption showing some football spirit, the video shows Isabella the tiger chase and swat at red ball that appears to have seen better days.

“Isabella fumbles, she recovers and TOUCHDOWN!” the Zoo wrote.

According to the Zoo’s website, Isabella is a 5-year-old Amur Tiger.  She was born at the Zoo to Titski and Yorgi, who are all part of the Amur Tiger Species Survival Plan.
