In this four-minute nail-biting video, two motorcyclists are seen frozen in their tracks as not one but two tigers appear on the jungle road they have been driving through. The video, shot from a car also on the same road, captures the tense moments and the eventual escape.

While the tigers in this Maharashtra jungle have no reputation of being man-eaters, obviously, the two men on the motorcycle could still have been attacked had their scared or agitated the animals, which they were wise enough not to. They may not, in fact, have known of the second tiger, who were behind them.

The tigers were curious, pacing around the two humans, but they did not show signs of aggression. And eventually, no one was harmed – neither man nor beast.
