Jungle Jolt: Heart-stopping close call with tiger goes viral

In a pulse-pounding moment captured in a viral video shared by IFS officer Susanta Nanda, two intrepid bikers found themselves face-to-face with an unexpected companion on a forest road.

The heart-stopping footage shows the bikers skillfully manoeuvring their way out of a dangerous encounter with a tiger.

The video shows the bikers approaching a car when suddenly, a tiger emerges onto the road.

The riders promptly halt and deftly reverse, creating a safe distance between them and the curious big cat. The tiger, inquisitive but unthreatening, soon retreats into the wilderness.

Accompanying the video, Nanda's caption imparts a valuable lesson: "As long as one doesn’t have a back gear in the bike, use common sense in the back of your mind & drive slow in wild habitats." This awe-inspiring incident not only showcases the bikers' quick reflexes but also highlights the delicate dance between humans and wildlife in the natural world.
