A video of a tigress chasing a tourist vehicle in the buffer zone of a tiger reserve in Maharashtra has gone viral on social media.
In the video clip, tourists are seen shocked after noticing the tigress running after their vehicle.
Range Forest Officer Raghvendra Moon said that the incident occurred on Sunday, 11 November. The three-and-a-half year old tigress 'Chhoti Madhu' may have been agitated by the proximity of the visitors' vehicle, he added.
Maharashtra has six tiger reserves, which cover an area of around 9,116 sq km. These include Pench, Melghat, Sahyadri and Tadoba-Andhari, which attract wildlife enthusiasts in large numbers.
