Few things are scarier than the thought of a tiger chasing you. The animals are dangerous predators who can run up to 40 miles per hour, so you are not safe from them even if you are on a motorcycle. In the video below, a group of motorcyclists learn this lesson the hard way!

Navaneeth Krishnaz was the passenger on the bike, filming their ride as the group rode through Nagarhole National Park, in the southern part of Karnataka State in India. The park is known as one of the most beautiful places in the world, which is why Navaneeth just had to film it. He had no idea at the time that he was about to capture their close brush with death on film.

Out of nowhere, a tiger runs out of the woods and starts chasing the bike, clearly intend on attacking them. The tiger ends up getting dangerously close to them, and through it all, Navaneeth continues to film as they flee for their lives.

Thankfully, these motorcyclists were able to escape with their lives, but others have not been so lucky. Earlier this year, a Bengali tiger killed three people in the Nagarhole National Park, including a 60-year-old and a 28-year-old. While officials were able to capture and tranquilize that tiger, the tiger in the video below appears to be quite aggressive as well.

Some studies have shown that as humans destroy the forests and encroach on their land, wild animals become more accustomed to humans, which makes it more likely that they will attack. Check out this heart-stopping video for yourself below.
