Viral video shows people getting dangerously close to tiger for photos, videos: WATCH

A video showing people dangerously approaching a tiger near Maharashtra’s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve has gone viral, sparking concern over tourists' behavior around wildlife. The incident drew criticism from wildlife enthusiasts, who stressed the importance of maintaining a safe distance while on safari. They argued that the purpose of safaris is to observe animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them.

Social media was flooded with reactions to the footage, with many users condemning the tourists' actions. One user expressed frustration, stating, "More than artificial intelligence, I am worried about natural stupidity in our country." Another commented, "Wild animals aren't props for your Instagram. Glad no one got hurt, but seriously, stay in the car."

The response to the video was largely critical of the tourists' behavior. Such incidents are not uncommon, with safari operators and visitors repeatedly facing criticism for getting too close to wildlife. In the past, safari vehicles have been seen chasing tigers at high speeds, and tourists have been fined for stepping out of their vehicles and provoking animals.
