In the video, the Pakistani man can be seen inserting his hand inside the tiger’s open mouth, maintaining this precarious position for several seconds. The tiger, chained and visibly subdued, remains still throughout the interaction, though many viewers expressed concern over the potential dangers of such stunts.
