Many wildlife enthusiasts often visit sanctuaries and national parks hoping to catch a glimpse of the majestic tigers. While the tiger population in India is thriving, it is rare to sight the wild cats as their nature is elusive.
“In Lakhimpur Kheri district, located in the Terai of Uttar Pradesh, tigers roam cheerfully in such sugarcane fields. The video is being told from Kukra area,” says the caption of the video, loosely translated from Hindi.
Watch the video below:
Indian Forest Service officer Ramesh Pandey retweeted the video with the caption, “Sugar cane is a good habitat both for the preys and predators and therefore human wildlife interface in Terai is high and it goes up in winters.”
“Hope he finds his own territory and grows to be a majestic tiger / tigress. Such a majestic sight,” a user commented. “He looks like a cub is he sir??” asked another.
In July, a video showing a tiger roaming in the field in Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit district while a farmer ploughs his land in the background surfaced online. The 52-second clip showed a tiger prowling in the paddy field. As the tiger moves about freely in the field, a farmer is seen ploughing his land on a tractor.
