Tiger Spotted Drinking Water From Puddle On Road Amid Rainfall, Video Goes Viral

"I envy you Sir. We spent 3 days in Bandipur in Dec 2022 & saw only elephants & deer," commented one user on seeing the video.

The highlight of a jungle safari is when yo get to spot a tiger, though the chances witnessing the big cat live totally depends on your luck. But thanks to forest reserves and national parks across the country that take to various social media platforms to share amazing videos and pictures of the wildlife. One such clip was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Ramesh Pandey on the microblogging site twitter which has now gone viral.

In the clip the big cat can be seen slurping up some water from a puddle formed due to the rain along a jungle path at the Bandipur National Park in Karnataka. The tiger’s crouching position and its alertness wis amazing to watch in the video.

"Tiger sighting in Monsoons. This comes from Bandipur," read the caption of the viral video. Since being shared, the clip has amassed 268.9k views, 3,487 likes and tons of comments.

"I envy you Sir. We spent 3 days in Bandipur in Dec 2022 & saw only elephants & deer," commented one user on seeing the video.

While another user commented "I thought all parks are closed during the monsoon. But looks like I was ill-informed."

"is this really bandipur? we've been there so many times ek bhi nahi dikha...there must be very few i think but the guy in the safari says there are some 150 tigers which i doubt," wrote a third.

"There is acid rain in many parts of the country, even over forests. I wonder how this water impacts animals, birds, apart from soil esp., if it contains pollutants, commented a fourth.
