The deer can be seen sneaking away from the scene while first staring at the tiger for a while as it continues walking along the roadside.

Several users have thanked the officer for sharing this video, while others have just adored the post.
"I have heard it said of humans, "They have no reason nor season. In nature, the webs are woven with great delicateness. We have set ourselves above it and are causing trouble for all. Thank you for sharing this," wrote one user.
Another said, "All carnivores scavenge if needed. Some are established scavengers. Big cats also scavenge, especially during shortages and when weak or ill. We have labelled animals as per our imagination. Nature does not work that way. There is no mercy in nature."
"Happy morning, Sir. Morning to all. Amazing to know. Only humans are unpredictable," commented a third user.
