A viral video on the Internet captured the moment a peacock followed two men who were carrying its dead partner away.
The video featured the peacock, which was said to have lived with its partner for four years, refusing to let go of it even after its death.
When two men carried the carcass of the peacock’s partner, it quietly followed them to the ‘funeral.’
Indian Forest Service Officer, Parveen Kaswan, who shared the “touching video” on his Twitter handle, said he received the clip over WhatsApp.
The 19-second-long video got many viewers commenting on the peacock’s “heart touching” gesture.
“Animals have more love and affection for each other than humans. This is what the entire nature and its being is all about,” one viewer wrote.
Mr Kaswan often shared videos of wildlife on his social media handle to make humans aware of how animals behave.
Recently, he shared a horrifying video of a leopard jumping over the locked gate of a residential property to attack a dog. –Ndtv.com
