Traffic on a busy road in the Tadoba district in India's Maharashtra state was halted after the Lord of the Forest - a tiger - and its little cub showed up to cross it, traversing to the other side of the forest.In an 11-second clip shared by wildlife biologist Milind Pariwakam, a huge crowd can be seen waiting for the fearful beast and its adorable cub to peacefully cross the road.While Pariwakam praised forest officials for managing the crowd so well, he also raised concerns over tigers and other wildlife animals jeopardizing their lives every day while crossing roads around the forested region. A Twitter user commented, "One solution is to have a proper speed breaker which will force vehicles to reduce their speed and allow better reaction time. Mostly in these stretches, people drive fast and animals cross suddenly in a panic."Another questioned, "Sir, can't we build overpasses in such vulnerable points?"

Forest Officials Stop Traffic to Let Tiger and Cub Cross Road in Maharashtra
In India, spotting wild animals in towns and villages has become quite frequent due to human intervention and development near forests and sanctuaries.
Traffic on a busy road in the Tadoba district in India's Maharashtra state was halted after the Lord of the Forest - a tiger - and its little cub showed up to cross it, traversing to the other side of the forest.
In an 11-second clip shared by wildlife biologist Milind Pariwakam, a huge crowd can be seen waiting for the fearful beast and its adorable cub to peacefully cross the road.
While Pariwakam praised forest officials for managing the crowd so well, he also raised concerns over tigers and other wildlife animals jeopardizing their lives every day while crossing roads around the forested region.
