A group of tourists riding a four-wheeler on a safari had a harrowing experience when an angry tiger charged at them as they were watching and capturing pictures of the huge beast.
One of the tourists who was there at the safari vehicle and experienced the terrifying event firsthand managed to catch the dangerous encounter on camera; the video is now extensively circulated online.
According to the India Today group, the incident happened in an area near Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.
An Indian Forest Service (IFS) official named Susanta Nanda posted the video of the terrifying encounter on Twitter. It shows individuals in a four-wheeler vehicle watching and taking pictures of the tiger after they locate him hiding behind bushes. The large cat suddenly bursts from the underbrush and charges the tourists while roaring loudly.
Mr. Nanda shared it with a caption that reads, "Striped monk gets irritated." What will you do if at every designated hours people crash into your house as their matter of right?"

This story demonstrates how occasionally our overenthuasiasm to see "tigers" only poses an inconvenience to their lives and can also put our own lives in danger.
The driver of the safari vehicle made a smart move and hurriedly tried to move the vehicle backward, taking it away from the angry beast. The tiger went back to the forest without harming anyone, but the tourists were left in shock, and many of them were screaming loudly.
