For instance, as the man pets the tiger, the neck of the liquor bottle diminishes in size and is then restored to its original size. Moreover, in the background, the movement of two people, sitting on the porch of the house, appears distorted, another characteristic feature of such artificially generated clips.

Although sightings of tigers are not entirely rare in the vicinity of the tiger reserve, no official statement records a tiger going missing on October 4 from Pench. The bizarre encounter between the tiger and the drunk man, it would seem, was artificially created and not a real event. Several such CCTV footage-like videos made using AI showing animals have been viral on social media lately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/ai-clip-of-mans-narrow-escape-from-lioness-viral-as-real-incident-republic-news18-misreport-later-tweak-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI clip of man\u2019s narrow escape from lioness viral as real incident; Republic, News18 misreport, later tweak story<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 6-second clip, ostensibly CCTV footage, showing a man petting a tiger in the middle of an empty street and offering the animal some liquor he was holding, is being widely shared as an incident from Madhya Pradesh, where a drunk labourer mistook the tiger for a giant cat.
