Whether it is the surprise sighting of a Black Panther in Goa’s Netravali wildlife sanctuary or the Olive Ridley hatchlings in Odisha crawling towards the sea, we’ve been loving the steady dose of nature videos/ pictures during the lockdown.
Recently, Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan shared another marvel in the form of an Indian Gaur jumping over a house gate, reports News18.

Twitter users identified the location as The Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) in Wellington, Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu. Everyone marvelled at the amazing feat considering the fact that the animal weighed around 600-800 kg and could jump a vertical distance of 6 feet.
600-800 Kg.

I have seen this creature jump up a 6 feet vertical section by the road with my own eyes.
Glorious creatures indeed.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, more animals were spotted like blooms of pink jellyfish in the Philippines, penguins on the street in Africa and horses, zebras in Paris that escaped from a circus.
Have you spotted any animals or birds in your locality?
