When visiting a wildlife sanctuary or a national park, tourists are always excited to spot wild animals in the forests in their natural habitat. Thanks to some dense forests and wildlife sanctuaries in the country, one can see majestic creatures including the Bengal tiger, sloth bear, wild elephants, leopards, and now cheetahs too! Besides all these animals, nothing can beat the excitement that one feels after sighting a tiger in the wild. While there are a lot of tiger reserves in India, sighting the wild cat is not easy everywhere. However, it indeed turned out to be true at the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh.
A group of lucky tourists recently spotted a tiger quenching its thirst in the middle of the road at the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. Taking to Twitter, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shared a video of the wild Bengal tiger calling it the “road stopper.” The officer while sharing the video wrote, “The road stopper !! From Katarniaghat WLS.”
