In a terrifying incident, a tiger recently attacked three people in Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit district and a picture from the rescue operation is making rounds on the internet. The picture, shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, shows a tiger sitting on a tractor as the rescuers try to tame it with a long stick. It was a close shave for the men, who reacted in the nick of time and warded off the attack by the big cat.

Look at the sheer size of this tiger. Sitting on a tractor. A video was viral yesterday of this tiger from Pilibhit which stranded out. With all efforts & coordination it was safely provided a passage. The tiger went back to forest. A perfect operation. pic.twitter.com/Sm9XkqKydl

But if, a tiger climbs up on your vehicle how it feels.

Those men sticking their neck out have nerves of steel. Even it’s roar makes one shiver, let alone sighting it.

I can never get tired of saluting & bowing before the rescuers & the villagers who aid in the rescue operations involving wild animals
The animals are scared & can act aggressively (natural).. yet the rescuers help them & set an example for all the rest of us
🙏🙏🙏

This beasty Tiger would easily be over 250+kgs and 10-12 feet in length. Can’t imagine if there’s possibly any way to escape this moment other than the Tiger himself wants no harm to humans as usual.
