Watch: Tiger Leaves The Way For Massive Python In Scary Video Captured In Nagarhole National Park and Tiger Reserve

A video that is viral on social media right now shows a tiger coming across a massive python on a road in Karnataka, and the reaction that the tiger showed is just blowing everyone away.

The video was originally captured in 2018, but it went viral after Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda shared it on Twitter.

Sharath Abraham, a naturalist at the Evolve Back Resorts Kabini, recorded the video on August 31, 2019 at the Nagarhole National Park and Tiger Reserve.

In a statement that he released on Instagram, Abraham explained what happened.

He said in the post:

I was with Kabini river lodge driver Feroz when I saw this male tiger marking his territory. When we came across this huge python on the middle of the road which looked like a speed breaker, tiger was confused about what to do.

In the video, you can see the tiger walking around the snake and looking at it curiously.

When the python went into a strike form, the tiger retreated into the bushes and went around to cross the road, avoiding the deadly python.
