KAZIRANGA: A Royal Bengal tiger, which strayed out of flooded Kaziranga, made its way into a shop dealing with scrap on Thursday morning. 
The site is Harmoti, located beside a national highway and adjacent to the national park in Assam. 
The animal is apparently tired and hungry after battling the flood. 
Rifiqul Islam, the shop owner, said he got alarmed on hearing screams of people. "When I heard people scream, I rushed out. I saw the tiger entering my shop from the front gate. He also saw me but didn't attack me. It is now sleeping on a bed in the shop," he said. 
Forest guards have cordoned off the area. 
Forest officials said they would try and tranquillize the animal. 
In the wake of the flood, the tigers first moved towards the hills across the highway in nearby Karbi Anglong district.

The pictures have been shared by WTI (on their twitter Acct - @wti_org_india ) and their vet Dr. Shamshul Ali, Kaziranga and others are trying to tranquilize the Tiger.
