Tiger kills dog at Ranthambore National Park, spine-chilling viral video shocks internet

New Delhi: Nothing beats spotting animals in the wild for those on a jungle safari. However, it can sometimes be a surprising experience. In one such clip posted to Twitter by IRS officer Ankur Rapria, a tiger can be seen hunting a stray dog inside the Ranthambore national park.

Shot by tourists from a distance, the video opens with a tiger sleeping on the ground and a dog attempting to walk down near the wild cat. Moments later the tiger gets up and grabs the stray by the neck. People in the background can also be heard asking their drivers to quickly back up their vehicles. Take a look at this video, which is currently being shared widely on various social media platforms:
