The astonishing encounter occurred in front of the visitors at the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in India where they saw a huge tiger getting close to a little fawn, and they all assumed they spotted deer fawn would face a swift death.
See these heartwarming pictures bellow by photographer Souvik Kundu that shows a tiger sparing the deer’s life and, instead of attacking it and making it an easy snack, deciding to play with it and treat it like one of its own.
The moment with the confused tiger snapped jumping next to the tiny deer, nuzzling and playing with it, and even carrying it gently in its mouth like a cub. See it for your self:
