Few residents in what seems to be Sundarbans witnessed a rare sight of a tiger crossing a river. The boys recorded the footage and shared on Twitter by Indian Forest Service officer Ramesh Pandey. 

In the viral clip, a group of people, seated on a boat, found a tiger crossing a river at a distance. And screamed "Bagh bagh (Tiger, tiger)," the boys shouted in Bengali and approached the animal on their boat and went quite close to the big cat as the animal swam across.

Others cautioned them to refrain from going too near the tiger as it could pounce.
