Viral video shows tiger near golf course in Ooty in Tamil Nadu, internet shocked

The internet is full of videos of people spotting tigers, leopards and lions on safaris in game parks and sanctuaries. But have you ever imagined seeing this wild animal up close? In a video that went viral on the internet, the big cat was spotted on the edge of the golf course in Ooty, Tamil Nadu.

Ananth Rupanagudi, an officer working with the Indian Railway Accounts Service, took to Twitter to share the videos and photos. He captioned the post as: “This was on the edge of the golf course in Ooty – the big cat with his meal! #tiger #golfcourse.” You can see the tiger moving around the dead cow. It appears that the tiger had already eaten from the dead cow and is also seen dragging the slain prey.

The post has accumulated over 1900 likes. Many users were shocked to witness a tiger living so close to human habitation.

One user commented, “I think tigers should be careful when people play there. We’ve invaded their habitat for our entertainment! (Not a troll, just a fact about us!)”

Geez, is this a golf course in the middle of a pristine forest? Otherwise you won’t see tigers in the city except in zoos, it’s dangerous both for the staff and the people playing, and if it comes out if you’re beware that it’s going to cause accidents,” said another user.

“OMG. I’ve played this course. I’m not that lucky to see such a beautiful animal,” commented another person.

“Sad. Clear signs of humans intruding too far into the former forest. Attacking livestock is the first sign that tigers (usually younger, not dominant) are starting to eat humans,” added a fourth user.

Another user said: “They are not infiltrators, we are. We have acquired their land.”
