A breathtaking video capturing a tiger taking a big leap over a water stream is capturing hearts on the internet. Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) officer Ananth Rupanagudi shared the remarkable video on X (formerly Twitter). The clip starts with a tiger moving towards the river at Sundarbans National Park, West Bengal. Moments later, it executes a giant leap and successfully lands on the opposite side of the river. Mr. Rupanagudi shared the video on the microblogging site, and wrote, “Watching a 20ft leap from standing position is a once-in-a-lifetime shot!”

Public Reaction to Sundarbans Viral Video
In response, one user commented, “Tigers are the lone hunters and mind their own business. Therefore, they’re not the king of the Jungle. But they are the strongest and most skillful in the cat kingdom. You can look it up. Amazing capture by the way.”
Another user remarked, “Agility and flexibility at their best.”
A third user expressed, “Wow, I’ve never seen anything like this before. Exceptional!”
Yet another user wrote, “Imagine the strength required in those legs to push a 150-200kg+ animal so far, while gravity is actively doing its job.”
Rare and elusive animals, tigers offer an unmatched thrill when spotted in their natural habitat. Observing a tiger in the wild is always a fascinating and once-in-a-lifetime experience, but witnessing the big cat leaps into the air adds an extra layer of extraordinariness.
