Viral Video: Tiger Tries To Catch Calf In Open Field, What Happens Next Stuns The Internet

Incidents of wild cats straying into human habitats have surfaced several times in the past. Even before this, incidents of wild animals entering human habitations have come to the fore. Now, in one such incident, a video showing a tiger wandering in an open field and attacking a cattle is going viral on social media.

The video, shared on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, shows the wild cat chasing a group of cows. The tiger does rounds in an open field and eventually catches a calf. However, the calf manages to escape after a cow charges at the wild cat.

The video shows the tiger chasing the calf. However, when the big cat managed to catch the calf, a cow charged towards the tiger. Seeing the cow charging toward it, the wild cat fled from the spot.

Nandra wrote in the caption of the post, “India now has 75% of the world’s wild tigers, about 3200. It will soon reach its carrying capacity, unless we become obsessed with numbers and allow them to be controlled by human dominance.” Don’t make pests in the houses.

Mr Nanda shared the clip on Saturday and since then it has gone viral on social media. The video has accumulated more than 137,000 views and over 2,200 likes. It has also garnered several responses from internet users.

“Eye feast to see the tigers population but at the same time there should be implementation of concrete measures to prevent Human -Animal conflict nd wide awareness among the public on wildlife ( Flora , Fauna ) especially importance of apex predators and their role in ecosystem,” wrote one user.

While another user blames umes for the dwindling habitats of wild animals. He wrote, “However, I tend to disagree. Perhaps, at the present time, humans are Earth’s most annoying pests. We are the primary cause of their dwindling numbers.”
