Royal Bengal Tiger spotted strolling casually in Mexico streets like common cat! What happens next is hilarious, watch

Royal Bengal Tigers are the apex predators and are on top of the food chain. Aside from their strength, they are the most skilled hunters and are known for their agility. It is almost impossible to escape from their deadly jaws. What if your path crosses with a big Royal Bengal Tiger?

Undeniably, the first sight of this deadly predator will send chills down anyone's spine. Unlike the barriers in enclosures or safaris, the risk of getting attacked by a tiger is high in open areas. Recently, a video surfaced on the internet that shows a Royal Bengal Tiger strolling on the streets of Mexico, just like any normal cat. What happens next is certainly shocking and funny at the same time.

In the video, the tiger can be seen strolling in a residential area on the footpath while a girl is seen capturing the incident on her mobile camera. As ot seems, some other people are also present on the spot and excited to see the Tiger so close. They seem to be frightened as well as there are no barriers between them and the big cat. 

A while later, the tiger is seen resting under a vehicle. Surprisingly, a youth approaches from behind with a leash in his hand. He tries to put the leash around the big cat's neck. However, the tiger stands up and starts walking with the youth without the leash. The tiger walks side by side with the youth without a leash, just like any pet dog or cat. 

While the origin of the video couldn't be obtained, it is shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Nature is Amazing. The caption for the post reads, "Just a Bengal Tiger roaming around town and then gets taken home without any resistance. This happened in Tecuala, Mexico." (sic)
