Kerala: Raging Bull Rams Into Three-wheeler, Attacks Auto-rickshaw With Its Horns & Almost Flips It Over
The wild buffalo could be seen standing in the middle of the road then running angrily towards the auto, which was closer to it, and flipping the three-wheeler carrying people inside it.
Thanks to climate change, urbanisation and deforestation, wild animals have been left displaced and searching for new homes. This desperate search often brings them in direct contact with humans, whether it's in a city, village or hamlet. Experts have said that wild animals usually avoid any and all contact with humans, but when forced into a corner, cases of human-animal conflict emerge.
Bull attacks a three-wheeler with its horns, almost flips it over
Recently, a wild buffalo was spotted on a road in Kerala, ramming into an auto. In a video, which has now gone viral, the bull can be seen attacking an auto-rickshaw with its horns.
The clip opens with a shot of the bull charging at the three-wheeler and smashing its head into it, almost flipping the vehicle over.
Right after, the buffalo, as if disoriented, rushes towards a bush before turning around, completing a full spin and reclaiming his spot. The animal then stands and faces the auto-rickshaw again and possibly taking the stationary vehicle's lack of response as a sign, retraces his steps and heads back towards the thicket.
It's unclear at this point if the driver or the passengers, if any, were hurt during the incident.

The caption came with this warning: "Be careful while you are travelling in forest areas. #Wildbuffalo #Kerala."
The video has already garnered over 2,00,000 views. It left the people on the internet stunned. Many showed their amusement by commenting on the video. One user wrote, "i didn't know that it had this much power." Another user wrote, "Hope the auto rickshaw person is safe." A third user wrote, "Thank God, no much damage." A user also wrote, "Don't travel at night. Allow them their right."
