An interesting post by IFS Officer Susanta Nanda has taken the internet by storm.

The image was clicked at the gate of an anti-poaching camp nestled within a forest. Sharing this picture on the social media platform, Nanda gave it a lighthearted spin. He referred to the wild cat as the “original guard” of the jungle.

"The original Forest Guard in an anti-poaching camp deep inside the forest", he captioned the now-viral photograph.

However, as viewers took a closer look at the image, they noticed not one but two tigers in the photo. They spotted the second tiger sitting below the trees in front of the official building, further enhancing the scene. Thus, netizens quickly corrected the officer’s caption and wrote, "Guards of the forest", suggesting the wild cats should be termed the protectors of the greens rather than just one.

While some users contributed with witty comments, speculating that the tiger seated at the gate of the office might have been waiting for its “lady love,” others appreciated the majestic sight captured in the photo.

X users praised the click using words like “beautiful” and “majestic” alongside flooding heart emojis in the comments.
