Tigers are one of the fiercest animals on the planet. According to experts, tiger attacks have claimed more lives than attacks by any other big cat. However, undeterred by these facts, a young man’s lifted two fully grown tigers and a clip of the incident is now doing rounds of the internet.

Posted by the page called ‘welcome to nature’, the clip shows a man holding two milk bottles in his hand. The 13-second clip then shows two tigers, one of them white, standing on their hind leg with the support of a man to drink milk from those bottles. Viewed over 22 thousand people, the video has left the internet divided. While many have lauded the man for his valour and courage others have slammed the man for using animals as props.

'This is crazy' 

This comes just two days after a 35-year-old man who went to catch crabs at a forest in Sunderbans was mauled to death by a tiger. Goshtho Naiya, who hailed from Deulbari area in Kultali block in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, reportedly went to the nearby Chituri forest to catch crabs.

However, a tiger mauled him and dragged his body deep inside the forest, officials said, adding that when those accompanying him found that Naiya was missing, they raised an alarm and started looking for him. Hearing their screams, the tiger left Naiya's body and went away. They then brought the wounded body back to the village, officials told media.
