Two majestic tigers sauntering on a road inside a protected forest. On the face of it, the sight appears surreal. But it can look ugly if the big cats are surrounded by a pack of irresponsible humans. A sanctuary in Maharashtra recently saw a similar show of stupidity, raising the hackles of wildlife conservationists and animal lovers.

In a widely shared video, two big cats can be seen walking on the Padmapur-Moharli road, abutting the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. Despite the wild animals being in the vicinity, several bikers take their pictures, with horns blaring in the background.
