Netizens are applauding the man for his presence of mind. While one user commented, ''This must have been a horrifying and the most adventurous experience for the man. I am sure he must have used his brain to keep calm and hold the breath to show as if he is dead to escape. And for the tiger- God is great that he did not use is extra brain.'' Another user commented, ''Hope tiger will be relocated safety.''
