Viral Video Shows Two Tigers Chasing Deer In Ranthambore National Park

A video has gone viral on social media showing two tigers chasing a deer, a sight which left a group of tourists stunned.
According to reports the video was shot at Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan on February 11.
Two tigers chase deer
In the video, posted online by ranthambhorepark two tigers were seen running after a baby deer.
A group of foreign tourists who were on a safari jeep when they came across the unusual sight can be heard gasping and calling it a "jackpot."
Unusual to find two tigers together
Tigers are apex predators and highly elusive animals. Even in a tiger reserve like Ranthambore, it is not easy to spot them in the wild.
What makes this particular video even more intriguing is that tigers are solitary animals and don't hunt in packs. Tigers are also territorial animals, who are highly protective of their hunting ground.
A tiger entering the territory of another big cat can often lead to a battle to the death of one of them.
It is unclear how the two tigers were in the same area at the same time. But there is a chance that the two tigers are sub-adult siblings, who are still living with their mother and are learning to hunt on their own.
