Tiger observes elephant
The 59-second short clip begins with the giant elephant doing its own thing using its trunk. As the video progresses, we see the zoomed in version, where a tiger can be seen silently observing the giant creature from behind the bush. The tiger does not make any movement but constantly keeps staring at the elephant. In the caption, Mahindra wrote, ““Tyger Tyger, burning bright, .....In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes?”. William Blake’s famous poem comes alive in this amazing clip. (Shared by my sister who has a home in Coorg.The person who sent it to her said it’s from the Nagarhole reserve).
