The tiger went back into the jungle unharmed, but the tourists were in shock and many of them were crying out in fear.
A group of tourists on a four-wheeler for a jungle safari had a bad experience when they were attacked by an angry tiger. That too when he was watching the dangerous animal and taking pictures of it.
According to India Today Group, the video is from the area near Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.
Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Sushant Nanda posted a video of the horrific encounter on Twitter. It is shown in this video that the tourists sitting in the four-wheeler are looking at the tiger hiding behind the bushes and taking pictures of it. On seeing this, the tiger gets enraged and roars loudly and attacks the tourists.
The IFS officer wrote in the caption accompanying the video, “The striped monk gets irritated.” What would you do if people barged into your house at every set time as a matter of right?”

This story shows how sometimes our over-enthusiasm to see “tigers” only creates inconvenience for their lives and can even put our own lives in danger.
The driver of the safari vehicle showed cleverness and tried to speedily take the vehicle backwards, which enabled him to escape from the angry tiger.
The tiger went back into the jungle unharmed, but the tourists were in shock and many of them were crying out in fear.
