In a video shared on Instagram by Joju Wildjunket, a tiger is seen jumping out of the bushes and roaring fiercely at the jeep carrying a bunch of tourists.

As per the caption on the now-viral video, “The air was thick with tension as the Gypsy cautiously retreated, witnessing the untamed beauty of the wild in a thrilling encounter.”
