No one can predict what nature will show when. In the forest, one often sees things that humans have never even imagined. These days, one such video is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this a tiger can be seen hunting a huge python. This scene is so rare that even for experienced forest travelers, seeing it with their own eyes is considered like a dream. This is the reason why this video is attracting a lot of people’s attention on the internet.
Generally, whenever there is talk of tiger hunting, the picture of big animals like deer, sambar, wild boar or nilgai comes to mind. But this time the story is completely different. In the viral video, the tiger’s target is a huge python. Such a sight is rarely seen in the forest, hence whoever saw this video was surprised.
The tiger immediately caught sight of me
The video starts with a dense forest. A big python is seen almost completely hidden among the bushes. Even if one looks carefully, it is not easy to recognize it. Perhaps this is the reason why people around do not even notice him. But the sharp eyesight of the tiger immediately identifies the hidden python. He moves forward in a very calm manner without any haste and waits for the right opportunity.
After a few seconds, the tiger moves quickly and directly grabs the python in its jaws. The python’s body is very thick and heavy, so it is not easy to lift it. It is clearly visible in the video that the tiger first tightens the grip of its mouth and then tries to handle the python comfortably. His every action clearly shows that he is an experienced hunter and knows how to control his prey without getting nervous.
Interesting thing is that after hunting, the tiger does not immediately run away from there. He first stops for a few moments and looks around. It seems as if he wants to make sure that there is no other danger or other predator present nearby. When he feels everything is safe, then he comfortably moves towards the forest with the python in his mouth. This entire scene gets recorded on the camera and the people present there are also stunned to see it.
People going on jungle safari say that such a scene may be seen only once in their life. This is why many people watching the video are calling it a “once in a lifetime” moment. Lakhs of people have seen this clip on social media and are giving different types of reactions. Someone called it the most unique scene of nature, while someone wrote that one gets to learn something new every day in the forest.
This video was first shared on Instagram by Devendra Singh, a wildlife guide associated with Jim Corbett, from his account @wildlife.with.dev. He captured this rare moment in his camera, after which it quickly went viral.
