Fact check:
The claim that the video was taken in Amrabad Tiger Reserve in Telangana is FALSE. The video is old and was shot near Geddam Dam, Nilgiri hills.
When the keyframes extracted from the video are searched using Google Reverse image search, we found a few news articles from December 2021.
According to the IndiaToday report, the clip shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu shows three cubs prancing behind their mother amid dense shrubbery.
Apparently, the mother is seen walking ahead on the trail guiding her 3 cubs who are cautiously following them, the video was first shared by Supriya Sahu, Administrative Officer and Principal Secretary of Environment of Tamil Nadu.
She shared the video on Twitter on December 1, 2021, with the caption "Tiger Country - looks like a mother teaching her three teenage kids look at the discipline and the way she checks on them Seen near Geddai Dam #Nilgiris #Tiger #wildlife vc-shared by a friend"
After this share, the video became viral and was shared by many on social media. Several articles reported that the netizens were amused by the discipline of the cubs.
