A video shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan seems to show a tigress ‘smoking’. Filmed at the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve of Madhya Pradesh, the 38-second clip shows the tigress sitting inside a parked car. As it exits the car, the tigress exhales a cloud of ‘smoke’.
“Is this tigress from Bandhavgarh smoking,” wondered Mr Kaswan when sharing the video on Twitter.
Of course, offered that tigers can not smoke, it really is secure to conclude that the cold of January had brought on the animal’s breath to condense, providing it a misty look.
