As Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown until May 3 in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus, several Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers have taken over Twitter to share videos and pictures of animals. On April 16, IFS officer Ramesh Pandey shared a video of four tigers, who were spotted in Satpura forest in Madhya Pradesh. While sharing the video, Pandey wrote that such sightings of four or more tigers were ‘not usual’ a decade back.

Rare sighting
The 28-second-video has already been viewed more than 6,000 times. With nearly 500 likes, the clip also managed to garner several comments. Internet users were surprised to see the sighting of four tigers together as they commented saying that the sighting is ‘pretty difficult’.
While some netizens applauded the IFS, others commented saying that people should be trained to behave in a jungle safari ride as in the video, one can hear few people talking loudly. The Internet user wrote, “Complete destroying the peace of the jungle. I suggest before taking people to any safari, they should be trained with a five minutes briefing on how to behave in a jungle safari ride”.
Wow !! Beautiful. We did not opt for a safari at Satpura tiger reserve during our recent stay at Pachmarhi, as the chances of sightings are less. Next time we will try our luck :).

Sir , I have been to Satpura Tiger Reserve atleast 3 times. The beauty is surreal . Though I wasn't fortunate enough to see a tiger but the Indian Gaur was really magnificent.
