A wildlife sighting turned risky when people got too close to a tense moment between two tigers. The incident raised questions about safety and how visitors behave inside forest areas.
The video was shared
by former IFS officer Susanta Nanda, who pointed out how such actions can put both humans and animals in danger. The clip shows a situation that could have quickly gone out of control.
Crowd Gets Too Close To Tigers
In the video, two tigers can be seen facing off, likely over territory. Instead of keeping a safe distance, a group of people in safari vehicles moved closer to watch the scene.
The vehicles appear to inch forward, bringing the crowd dangerously near the animals. At such times, tigers can become aggressive, especially during a fight, making the situation risky for everyone present.
The clip also shows how the crowd seemed focused on getting a better view, without thinking about the possible danger.
Officer Warns Against Risky Behaviour
Reacting to the video, Susanta Nanda criticised the actions of those present. He said that getting so close to a tiger fight is not allowed and can lead to serious consequences.
“Their fight can turn into your last Sight,” Nanda wrote on X. “Never crowd a scene like this. Can prove fatal to you. No amount of regulations can stop this. Behave like a responsible tourist. Respect their space,” the post added.
He also pointed out that such behaviour not only risks human lives but can also disturb the animals. In such situations, escape or rescue may not be possible if things go wrong.

Social Media Users Question Rules And Safety
The video led to many reactions, with people sharing their concerns about safety and rules in wildlife areas.
A user said, “It will take, sadly, one horrifying incident for people to learn.”
Another added, “It’s likely they were in neutral ground mapping the boundary otherwise there could have been a huge fight which would also mark those safari vehicles as infiltrators. Also this is a pure violation of law for safari vehicles to approach this close.”
Some people pointed out that drivers and guides should take responsibility. “The gypsy drivers should be warned and sensitised for responsible driving in these cases,” a comment read.
Others questioned the role of guides. “Isn’t it responsibility of driver and jungle guide? Tourist have zero idea about wildlife. It’s the guide who need to be trained.”
A few users also spoke about stricter rules. “These rides must be banned. Period. Sick of human encroachment in jungles. Leave the animals alone,” one person wrote.
