What would be your reaction, had you been in this vehicle? Multiple users have the video clip on social media, appreciating the strength of the animal. However,  These tigers are said to be rescued and bred under captive conditions, which is why they probably weren't aggressive but just curious about the vehicle. Had it been aggressive, they could have attacked them.
