The clip was shared on Twitter on Sunday morning by wildlife photographer Rajesh Sanap. "Hide and seek! It began when she saw the #Nilgai at about 80m.

A third simply said, "superb," while a fourth added, "Well, stalking, anyway.  Even within a few yards and exposed on the road, that crazy-looking bluebuck wasn't sure if something was there.  I'd have walked right into it's jaws before I suspected a thing". 

Meanwhile, speaking of tigers, earlier a video showing a tiger roaming near the edge of the Golf Course in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, surfaced on social media. An officer working with the Indian Railway Accounts Service, Ananth Rupanagudi took to Twitter to share the videos and pictures.
