Tiger Pulls, Attacks Safari Vehicle In Bengaluru’s Bannerghatta National Park, Act Caught On Camera

A video of a tiger trying to grab a safari vehicle with its teeth has gone viral on social media. The video shot at the Bengaluru Bannerghatta Biological Park, shows a curious big cat trying to bite the rear end of a tourist vehicle. Footage of the tiger gained massive traction over the weekend after it was posted on Twitter by wildlife enthusiast Mona Patel, according to The News Minute. In the one-and-a-half-minute clip, the tiger is seen biting and pawing the rear bumper of the vehicle and grabbing it in its powerful jaws. It then appears to drag the vehicle backwards - although some on social media have pointed out that the tiger is not 'pulling' the car, as has been claimed, but rather the driver is reversing it. Vanashree Vipin Singh, Executive Director of the Bannerghatta Biological Park, told Deccan Herald that the video is about two months old. She said the park's tigers, "rescued or bred under captive conditions", are used to the presence of people. Watch the video to know more.
