Encountering 2 fierce tigers in the middle of the road, two young men on a motorcycle had an incredibly close escape that left viewers on the edge of their seats.
The incident was recorded on a road within the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Chandrapur, Maharashtra, Central India.
Both quickly stopped without speeding away.
In the video, two young men riding a motorcycle were traveling down the road when they suddenly spotted a large tiger standing by the roadside. They quickly halted instead of speeding off, as moving could potentially trigger the predator’s hunting instincts.
Perhaps due to being full and not in need of hunting, the tiger appeared quite indifferent to the two young men standing before it. After a while of observing, the tiger quietly walked back into the forest.
Just when they thought they had escaped danger, another larger tiger appeared right behind them. It slowly approached the two motorcyclists, causing the person filming the video to feel a rush of anxiety.
Despite their fear, the two riders remained calm, avoiding panic and not changing their position to startle the tiger. Fortunately, this tiger also merely watched the two men for a moment before wandering back into the forest without attacking anyone. Once they felt it was safe, the people in the car approached them.
This tense encounter was posted on YouTube and has since garnered significant attention. As of now, the video has received over 42 million views and more than 5,000 comments.
