Read MoreSighting a tiger in the wild is always a thrill! A rogue tigress recently ventured closed to village and accidentally killed a person. This prompted wildlife officials to track its location and turn it back to its territory in the cold winter night of December. You can see in the video that Tigress will often go offroad but will eventually come back to the track. Tigress is aware of people following it, but not afraid enough to hide or run away. Perhaps tigress was new to this area and ventured here accidentally. Finally she decided to leave the road and lights of the vehicle to go deep into the woods.
