Deforestation and wildlife disturbance on a regular basis might lead to hazardous animal-human conflict. When a video of an Indian bison running over an auto-rickshaw went viral earlier this week, it served as an illustration of this type of debate.
In the viral video, an autorickshaw was struck by an Indian bison in Kerala. An observer who witnessed the horrifying event recorded it on a mobile device.
The wild animal can be seen charging at the rickshaw in the footage before striking it. The vehicle is then raised by the bison while the driver is perched inside it on its horns.
The video was posted on Twitter by a popular account named WildLense Eco Foundation (@WildLense_India). The video was captioned as, "Never underestimate the Gaur/Indian Bison. Maintain proper distance, otherwise it can be fatal."
