Man Pretended To Be Dead In Front Of Tiger To Save Himself. Fortunately, It Worked Like A Charm
The incident took place in Tumsar in Bhandara district Maharashtra. The tiger finally manages to get hold of one man who had no option but to give up and lie still. Fortunately for him he survived.
You know how they say that even you encounter a big wild animal like a bear you should play dead to not become a prey? Well, turns out it works, at least it did for one man.
It would be foolish to think that in a fight between an unarmed human and hungry tiger the former would win. So when adrenaline kicks in and asks fight or flight? You play dead.
IFS officer Parveen Kaswan recently shared a video of a man lying under a tiger. The animal¡¯s and man¡¯s face were really close. The video that is now viral was shared with the caption, ¡®You want to see how does a narrow escape looks like in case of an encounter with a #tiger. #Tiger was cornered by the crowd. But fortunately, the end was fine for both man and tiger¡¯.

All this while, the man beneath the tiger did not attempt to flee, which was a good decision and fortunately for him, he survived.
His presence of mind and the mythical legends saved the man¡¯s life.
