A scary video of a tiger charging towards tourists, while they were watching and capturing pictures of the huge beast from a four-wheeler has gone viral on social media. The incident reportedly took place at Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.
"Striped monk gets irritated What will you do if at every designated hours people crash into your house as their matter of right? reads the caption of the video shared on Instagram by @susantananda3.
The video opens to show a tiger appearing from behind the bushes as the tourists are on a jungle safari in the Ramgarh area of the national park. The tiger can be seen roaring and charging towards the vehicle but is scared away by the guide on the jeep. As the tiger approaches, one can also hear people on the jeep screaming out of fear.
Since being shared the clip has garnered over 76,000 views 1,269 likes and tons of comments.
"The safari numbers needs to be curtailed - daily basis and also some weeks of no safari!, commented one user after seeing the video.
"It's always tricky to let humans invade in jungles in any form or under any purpose. The nature ultimately has to pay the price," wrote another user.
"It's unfortunate that we the people do not allow animals to live in forest nor outside forest," wrote a third.
