 "Watch: Tiger jumps off boat in Sunderbans and swims away; reminds users of scene from Life of Pi")
The video of a Royal Bengal Tiger jumping off a boat to swim towards land has gone viral on social media. The footage, which was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, has reminded users of the 2012 film Life of Pi. The 1.49 minute clip shows a tiger jumping off the boat while it was being carried to the Sunderbans for release into its natural habitat. The big cat sprung off the boat and swam towards land without even glancing back. The clip was shared by Kaswan with the caption “The Tiger sized jump though. Old video of rescue and release of tiger from Sundarbans." Watch the clip here:

The video has been viewed over 94,000 times since it was put out on, 17 April, 2022. Several users found the video reminiscent of the last scene from Life of Pi, wherein the tiger leaves the main character without a backward glance and swims away forever.
It seems Life of Pi last tiger scene was inspired from this video..tiger didn't look back..he entered into his World.

Others shared the scene from the film and joked that this was not the only big cat with swimming abilities that they had seen.
Some even appealed for conservation of the tiger’s natural habitat.
Exciting.Forest cover may be increased to make their lives happy and comfortable.
