The internet is full of videos that show how majestic tigers are. After several conservation attempts by the government, As we take up more and more space for ourselves and our cities, wildlife in the area suffers greatly as it loses access to more and more spaces by the day.

The video shows a tiger waiting on the side of a road like a human pedestrian before crossing a road. After the trucks pass, the big cat crosses the road with the utmost caution. The video was shot by a passenger sitting inside a car.

“This is how far the ‘development’ has taken our wildlife,” Mr Nanda wrote in the caption of the post.

IFS Susanta Nanda is best known for his interesting tweets on wildlife. He has recently shared the said clip on his twitter handle where we can see a tiger crossing road.

The location of the undated video is not known. Since being shared, the clip has accumulated more than 147,000 views and over 4,600 likes.

“This is so sad and risky. Why can’t under passes be made? What if he gets hit by some speeding vehicle in the night?” asked one user. “We should have elevated roads in forest areas. By building elevated viewing points and resting facilities abetting the elevated roads, the cost also could substantially be recovered,” suggested another.
