A group of tourists had a close encounter with a tiger in Ranthambore National Park during a jungle safari on Thursday and the video of the incident is now making rounds of the internet.
The incident took place in Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan when the tourists were taking pictures and recording videos of a tiger they had spotted nearby. Things took an ugly turn when the tiger suddenly climbed over a wall and started walking right in front of them.
Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Susanta Nanda shared the video on Twitter and called out the tourists for their careless behaviour.
“Idiotitis… When the human brain shuts down & mouth keeps talking. Appreciate the anger management of the tiger. But that can’t be guaranteed in future,” tweeted Susanta Nanda.

Humans are yet to understand that they are in the wild and under its own law and order and they are not watching TV at home.

look at the size of the beast!
And at a higher elevation than that jeep. Really close call.
The guide should lose his license.— Sandeep Barve (@1Sandeep_Barve) January 21, 2021
The sheer noise made by desis during wildlife safaris is enough to make any real wildlife lover pray for retaliatory action by the animals!
