Most people like to watch videos of wild animals in general, be it lion, elephant or tiger. At the same time, when we watch such videos, we may unconsciously feel a little fear in our minds. But what if it appeared directly in front of us at an unexpected moment, other than through these videos? One such video of a tiger jumping into a passenger vehicle during an African safari is now viral. It is from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Its content is an interesting encounter between safari travelers and a leopard.
In the video, we can see a leopard unexpectedly jumping into a vehicle with people sitting on it during a safari. People were also surprised when they suddenly saw a tiger behind the vehicle they were sitting in. For a moment they did not know what to do. But luckily it was a tiger that got along very well with humans. Therefore, even though it saw people, it did not show any difference. The four legs rested on two tires mounted on the rear of the vehicle, and it stood well in the middle. Then it grabbed the vehicle and climbed on top of it. And then lay calmly on top of it as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, tourists captured the antics of the leopard on their mobile phones. All this time, the tiger posed no threat to tourists. They were not harmed.
Surender Mehra, an IFS officer, shared the unusual encounter between the leopard and the safari travelers on Twitter. He shared the video online with the caption “Man in Wild”. After that, the video has now gone viral. People were amazed to see such a calm tiger. Users who watched the video shared many positive comments. “How interesting! What a cool tiger!” commented one. Another wrote that it must have been an unforgettable experience for tourists.
