A big wild cat called a tiger was seen in fields and near a road in a part of India.

A baby tiger, called a cub, was also seen.

A farmer recorded a video of the cub and shared it online, and many people watched it.

Farmers in the area are worried because they are growing cotton and do not want the tigers to hurt their crops.

Forest workers, called forest officials, are helping.

They told villagers not to put up electric wires or try to catch the tigers.

They are also teaching people in the villages how to stay safe.

The officials think the tigers came from big forests in a nearby state called Maharashtra.

One tiger may have come from a place called Thippeshwar Tiger Reserve.

Another may have come from a place called Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.
