Fearless Mama Cow Charges Leopard To Protect Calf In Heart-Stopping Video
In the clip, a cow calf is seen walking through a path when a leopard suddenly leaps from the side and grabs it by the neck.
The wild can often surprise us not just with danger but with moments of instinct and courage. A video recently recorded in Rajasthan is making waves online. It shows a leopard attacking a cow calf, only to be stopped by another cow that charges in and chases the predator away.
The video is said to be from the Jawai Badh region in Rajasthan. It is now being widely shared on social media that showing a leopard trying to drag away a cow calf before being scared off.
A Sudden Attack
In the clip, a cow calf is seen walking through a path when a leopard suddenly leaps from the side and grabs it by the neck. The calf struggles to escape, but the predator holds on tightly in an attempt to overpower it.
Just then, another cow, who is believed to be the mother, notices the attack. She charges at the leopard without pause. Taken by surprise and possibly sensing danger, the Leopard lets go and retreats into the nearby forest.
Clip Filmed During Rajasthan Safari
The now-viral video has reportedly been filmed by a group of safari-goers in Jawai Badh, Rajasthan. It has caught attention for capturing a rare moment of both predator instinct and protective response within the animal world.
Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), journalist Arvind Sharma wrote, 'My dear mother! When a Leopard grabbed the calf by the neck, the mother rushed to save it. Then what happened? See for yourself."
मेरी प्यारी मां!गाय के बछड़े को गर्दन से पैंथर ने दबोचा तो बचाने मां दौड़ी। फिर क्या था, खुद देखिए।
When Humans Cross The Line With Wildlife
Many videos featuring wild animals continue to dominate social media feeds. While in this recent incident, no one from the safari was seen getting involved, earlier this year, a different kind of video had sparked concern.

That footage showed a young man provoking and playfully interacting with an elephant. He was seen chasing the animal, and the elephant responded by chasing him back. The video was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Praveen Kaswan, who had strongly criticised the man's behaviour and urged people not to disturb wild animals for entertainment.
Kaswan also spoke about the impact of such actions. He noted that elephants are intelligent, social beings and harassment like this can lead to behavioural changes, some of which could have long-lasting effects.

Metro stations from DumDum-Kavi Subhas undergo security audit by RITES
Kolkata, Aug 5 (PTI) A security audit of DumDum-Kavi Subhas stretch of the Kolkata Metro Railway Blue Line covering 22 stations, including underground ones, have been conducted by RITES, a senior official said on Tuesday. On July 28, the Kavi Subhas metro station of the blue line was shut down after cracks appeared on the structure. It was then announced that the up platform of the 15-year-old metro station at New Garia in the southern fringes of the city will be razed and rebuilt, leading to closure of the station and termination of up and down train services at Sahid Khudiram. The audit – factoring the structural conditions of stations built along both the elevated and underground parts of India's first metro and the condition of tunnels – has been submitted to the Ministry of Railways for evaluation and necessary follow-up action, the official told PTI. However, nothing has been found to press the panic button immediately, and the stations and tunnels were found to be structurally safe and sound. The report focused on the structural conditions of the 17 underground stations between Dumdum and Mahanayak Uttam Kumar, which is about 16.45 km long and the condition of the tunnel, as well as the pillars built on the Adi Ganga canal between Mahanayak Uttam Kumar-Kavi Subhas elevated stretch and the foundation of six stations along that stretch, the official said. 'The RITES had undertaken a survey and submitted the report early this year as part of the continuous maintenance drill," he said. 'The pillars have been found to be structurally safe and sound, but in case there is a need for any modification or adjustment for public safety, that decision will be taken by the Railway Board," he said. The Dumdum-Tollygunge underground part became functional in 1995, while the stations along the elevated tracks between Netaji and Kavi Subhas were opened between 2009-2010. With instances of water seepage and flooding of tracks in parts of the underground section of the blue line following heavy downpour in recent times, monitoring the condition of tunnels has assumed more importance, but Metro is maintaining every caution to assess the structural aspect of its stations, the official added. However, before cracks were spotted in its four pillars, the authorities had chalked out plans for partial razing down and restoration of Kavi Subhas station after the Durga Puja, as RITES had flagged some issues over its foundation. 'All stations on the Sahid Khudiram-Dakshineswar section have been found to be in overall good condition," he said. The 32-km Blue Line is at present operational between Shahid Khudiram station and Dakshineswar station.
