fact
Keyword searches for 'tiger attacks' and 'Madhav Tiger Reserve' did not yield any reliable reports. A reverse image search of the viral clip did not find any reliable sources conveying the same visual.
Further analysis of the video revealed multiple visual discrepancies. The tiger's body appears distorted in some frames, and the license plates of motorcycles and nearby vehicles also appear distorted. This is a symptom commonly associated with digital manipulation.
This video was tested using AI detection tools and was shown to be likely synthetic content. For example, Hive Moderation found that videos are more likely (97%) to contain AI-generated or deepfake content. Another tool, Sightengine, also flagged the video as having a 98% chance of being generated by AI.
The AI detection platform WasItAI analyzed the video's keyframes and concluded, “We are confident that this image, or significant parts of it, was created by AI.”
News Checker previously highlighted several similar AI-generated videos of wild animals attacking humans (here, here, and here) and pointed to a repeating pattern of such fabricated content aimed at debunking them and warning viewers.
