Daring group of men try to take selfie with tiger

One of them got close to the tiger

A video showing a bunch of people getting too close to a tiger in order to take pictures with the wild animal is gaining traction on the internet.

Shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, Susanta Nanda, on Twitter, the short clip showed a group of men following a tiger trying to cross a forest road. One of them tried to take a selfie with the wild animal without thinking about the consequences.

The tiger was in close proximity and the encounter could have been fatal. However, regardless of the danger, the group of men kept edging closer to the tiger instead of running away.

Fortunately, the wild animal ignored the bunch of men and continued on its way, without causing any harm. However, in the caption, Mr Nanda pointed out that the incident could have gone horribly wrong.

Mr Nanda shared the clip which had since accumulated more than 82,000 views. Internet users slammed the commuters for their irresponsible behaviour.

“How come they have come out from their vehicle and walking in a Tiger Reserve? These people should be glad that it wasn’t looking for meat!” one user wrote. —ndtv.com
