What we found: At first, we ran a relevant keyword search to check if there had been any recent cases of tiger attacks in India.

  • However, none of the reports matched with the viral video in question.

  • We then noticed some irregularities in the video, such as the tiger's body appearing distorted in some frames and the car's number plate being illegible.

  • Here is a close-up of the frame.

  • Such anomalies are often noticed in content created using AI.

  • Team WebQoof then ran the clip on the AI-detection tool, Hive Moderation, which revealed that the viral video was created using AI.

Conclusion: The viral clip showing a tiger attacking a biker is created using AI and is not a real incident.
