“Green signal only for tiger. These beautiful people. Unknown location,” he wrote and posted the video. The clip opens to show a person, presumably a traffic cop, asking people to stop their cars and bikes. The reason behind it soon becomes clear as the video shows a tiger crossing the road at a distance. The big car emerges from one side of the road then vanishes into the jungle next on the other side.

“Surprising! We go around in thick forest on safari to get a glimpse of at least one tiger...but always come back without a trace! Here...this beast is crossing such a highway at ease… and looking at commuters. It appears to be a normal affair,” shared a Twitter user. “Brilliant. Human beings must learn to be humble when faced with these majestic lords of the jungles,” commented another. “Really very nice. Hats off to beautiful people esp. our Forest deptt staff,” posted a third. “Majestic,” wrote a fourth.
