Big cat nap! Tired tiger snoozes in family home after esca heavy flooding in India

大猫打盹!印度老虎从洪水中逃生后，精疲力尽，在居民家中打盹

This is the astonishing moment an exhausted tiger was seen having a snooze on a bed in a garage after desperately seeking shelter during heavy floods in India.

在印度，一只精疲力竭的老虎为避洪水，躲进居民车库，在一张床上打盹。这一幕着实惊人。

In the footage, taken in the north-eastern state of Assam, the animal is fast asleep and rests its head on its paw.

在这段拍摄于阿萨姆邦的视频中，这只动物睡得正香，头趴在爪子上休息。

Shocked homeowner Motilal and his family spotted the beast at around 7.30am on Thursday.

周四早上7:30左右，震惊的房主莫蒂拉尔及其家人发现了这头野兽。

Officials from the Wildlife Trust India said the tiger had been sighted near a national highway outside Kaziranga National Park when it jumped towards the garage.

印度野生动物基金会的官员表示，这只老虎在逃向车库之前，曾在卡齐兰加国家公园外的一条国家公路附近出没过。

The adult female tiger is one of many animals which have been approaching people's homes after monsoon rains hit the region.

在季风雨袭击该地区后，很多动物向居民家靠近，这只成年雌虎是其中之一。

'It appears the tiger strayed into a human settlement area to escape the floods and was very tired,' said park director Shiv Kumar.

公园园长库马尔称，这只老虎似乎是为了躲避洪水而误入人类居住区的，它当时非常疲惫。

The tiger was not initially disturbed during her nap - but eventually an operation was launched to safely remove her.

这只老虎在打盹时并没有受到干扰，最终把她安全转离。

She finally left the property at around 5.30pm local time and made her way to the forest, according to The Mirror.

最终在当地时间下午5点半左右，老虎离开了房子，前往森林。

The state's Kaziranga National Park, which is home to tigers and endangered one-horned rhinos, was waist-deep in water, with animals sheltering in higher areas, and some straying into villages.

卡齐兰加国家公园是老虎和濒危独角犀牛的家园，那里水深及腰，动物们躲在较高处，一些动物误入村庄。

The floods have killed at least 43 animals, but authorities worry that poachers could take advantage of the deluge to target animals, especially one-horned rhinos, whose numbers are down to about 3,500 worldwide.

洪水已经造成至少43头动物死亡，当局担心偷猎者可能会利用洪水袭击动物，尤其是独角犀牛，目前全球独角犀牛的数量已经下降到3500头左右。
