The video, which was filmed at the Bannerghatta National Park in Bangalore, shows the giant tiger moving the heavy car, using its teeth.

Daily Mail, UK newspaper, reported that there were four passengers in the car.

A man and woman were both heard yelling 'I'm scared,' after shutting their window in an attempt to protect themselves from the tiger.

The passengers were astonished while watching the tiger dragging the car, while the woman expressed her fear of what was happening.

On the other hand, the driver did not drive the car away in fear of injuring the tiger in the process.

Most notably, a fully grown male Royal Bengal Tiger can weigh up to 325 kg (717 lb) and reach 9 feet in length.

The Bannerghatta National Park has been open since 1970 and boasts animals including elephants, tigers, lions, crocodiles and snakes.
