Viral Video: Tigress And Her Cub Inspect Camera Trap, Netizens Say, ‘Take A Selfie’

A tigress and her two cubs spot a camera and one of the cubs goes on to inspect it.

Tigress And Her Baby: Of the members of the cat family, the tigers are arguably the most captivating and fascinating. Apart from their dazzling appearance, their movement in the jungle creates a furore. Over the decades, senseless hunting has reduced their numbers to alarming levels. Also, their natural habitat has been snatched away from them in the name of industrialization and development. This is the reason that the world over, the governments of countries where tigers are found, have adopted and deployed many methods to conserve, protect, and provide more area to these wonderful big cats.

One of the methods is a camera trap. A camera trap helps conservationists to regularly monitor all the movements of all the tigers in a given area. The data collected by these cameras is used by scientists and environmentalists to keep a record and react accordingly if there is anything suspicious.

The viral video shows a moment when a tigress and her two cubs spot a camera and one of the cubs goes on to inspect it. The mother steps in to make sure that it is nothing harmful.
