Two animals with an unlikely friendship have been caught on video in an adorable play fight.

Kinwah the Sumatran Tiger and Rumble the German Shepherd, who have been friends for seven years, are filmed at Mogo Zoo on NSW's south coast rolling around and playing with one another.

The seven-year-old tiger is initially seen laying down and relaxing in the sun when Rumble runs up and tries to initiate a game with his friend.

As Kinwah lazily rolls from side to side, Rumble jumps around the giant cat, nipping at its fur.

The seven-year-old tiger is seen clawing at the dog's paws, trying to trip the canine as he continues to play.

Though Rumble emits a low growl and nips at Kinwah's face, the grown Sumatran Tiger remains calm and placid as the two paw at each other.

Kinwah and Rumble have been friends since the tiger was just a cub. Kinwah was born at Mogo Zoo and was hand reared by zoo owner Sally, who also owns Rumble.

The two shared a backyard while Kinwah was growing up, and formed a seemingly lifelong bond.

The Sumatran Tiger is part of the zoo's up close and personal program, where visitors can hand feed Kinwah, and many Facebook users have commented on their luck at seeing the pair together.
