In the viral video, it can be seen that the famous tigress P-141 is sitting peacefully on a river side. She came here to drink water, trying to cool down in the summer heat. Whereas a group of deer comes to the same spot and gulps in water from the other side.

Usually, wild animals like deer run away when they sense a tiger nearby. But this time, something unusual happened. 

Despite the tigress being present, a herd of deer calmly drank water from the same ghat without showing fear. 

This rare moment of harmony between predator and prey amazed everyone and gave visitors an unforgettable memory. 

The tourists on safari quickly captured this moment on their phones, and the video is now going viral on social media.

Field Director Anjana Suchita Tirkey said that such rare sightings make Panna a special destination for wildlife lovers. This video is likely to attract even more tourists from across the country and abroad, eager to witness such incredible moments in the wild.
