Industrialist Anand Mahindra recently shared a video of a tiger pulling a Mahindra SUV with its teeth. The industrialist claimed to “not be surprised” that the tiger was chewing on the Mahindra SUV as the big cat must have found it “delicious”. In his tweet, Mr. Mahindra mentioned that the tiger was using its might on his own company’s Xylo SUV. The video displays the true strength of a tiger who with its jaws and teeth was pulling an entire SUV quite easily. Reacting to video, a netizen claimed that he was one of the tourists sitting in the car and claimed the video to be shot at the Bannerghatta National Park.
The video comes after series of videos involving big cats have emerged recently from multiple corners of the country.
The Facts of the Matter
Industrialist, business baron, Harvard alumnus, Anand Mahindra has several feathers in his cap. One of the most unique feathers is not related to his business acumen, but his influence on social media. Known for his presence on Twitter, and his philanthropic efforts on the platform, Mr. Mahindra is followed by 8.9 million Twitter users.
Recently the Mumbai-based industrialist shared a thrilling video of a tiger using all its might on an SUV manufactured by his own company.
Taking to Twitter, Mr. Mahin, Mr. Mahindra wrote, “Going around #Signal like wildfire. Apparently on the Ooty to Mysore Road near Theppakadu. Well, that car is a Xylo, so I guess I’m not surprised he’s chewing on it. He probably shares my view that Mahindra cars are Deeeliciousss.”
What Does the Video Show?
The video shows a relatively young tiger tearing through the bumper of the SUV. Without exerting much force, the tiger is able to pull the car further. The tiger then circles around the car and then again digs its teeth into the SUV bumper, causing it to be pulled even more. When the vehicle’s passenger side comes in the frame, one can see that it is filled with tourists. Some tourists can be heard gasping in the background as a second tiger joins the first one.

It seems that the Tiger is pulling back the Xylo with his teeth. Does it merit now to rate the capacity of Xylo in "Tiger power" rather than "Horse power"?

Sir i think he is a disgruntled customer so taking out his frustrations
🤣🤣🤣— ASHISH SHAH (@rushabhsons) December 30, 2021
Thank God. Had it been any open jeep, the Tiger would have enjoyed a very sumptuous meal😊

Since a 'Royal Bengali' is trying to eat it, the car must be sweet 😄 Btw, this video is from Bannerghata National Park and that Xylo is a vehicle used for safaris.
— Subir Ghosh (@subghosh) December 30, 2021
Lol no. That looks like some safari park, maybe Bannerghatta. Caged window cars, fencing at the back. No wild tiger will do this.

This seems to be @NPbannerghatta many times tigers roam around the vehicles. These are safari vehicles of zoo authorities. Park officials can confirm. But yes #xylo seems to be delicious 😃

It's a karnataka registration, mostly in Bannerghatta National Park where the animals are notorious to attack vehicles
