A dramatic tiger attack was captured on camera in Uttarakhand’s Garjiya area near Ramnagar, where a fully grown Bengal tiger was seen dragging a horse away in front of stunned tourists.
The incident occurred in the afternoon near an intersection outside the Corbett National Park area, a popular tourist destination that also attracts visitors to the renowned Garjiya Temple.
Visuals from the incident show the large tiger gripping the horse by the throat with its jaws before pulling the animal deep into the forest. Tourists watching from safari jeeps can be heard reacting with shock, while children scream as the predator drags the horse away.
The tiger appears to make little attempt to hide its movements as it pulls the horse through the vegetation and farther into the forest.
The incident took place in an area frequently visited by tourists exploring the Corbett landscape and the Garjiya Temple, making the sighting particularly alarming for those present.
The dramatic visuals offer a close look at the sheer strength of the big cat as it overpowers and carries away the horse while tourists watch from a safe distance.
Authorities are expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident and monitor the presence of wildlife in the area.
Jim Corbett National Park has an estimated population of over 260 Bengal tigers, the highest tiger population and density of any reserve in India.
