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.

Father in ICU: Son remains in US for multi-million dollar deal; friend says, ‘His American dream mattered more'
A deeply personal and emotionally charged post by Gaurav Kheterpal, founder of a multi-cloud expertise startup, has triggered an intense discussion online over the erosion of Indian family values in an increasingly globalised world. In a post titled 'Is the Indian family system dead?', Kheterpal shared a harrowing incident involving a close friend (referred to as 'X'), who had been living in the United States for 15 years while his elderly father—aged 84—lived alone in Jaipur following the passing of his wife three years ago. Kheterpal revealed that he received a 'frantic call at 3 AM' from his friend, asking him to check on his ailing father who was feeling unwell. Responding immediately, Kheterpal and a few friends rushed the elderly man to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a cardiac arrest followed by multiple organ failure. 'We got him the best possible treatment, he stabilised, and few of his relatives showed up — none of whom was ready to pay any bills, shoulder responsibility etc,' he wrote. What followed was, in Kheterpal's words, 'unbelievable' and 'shook me to the core.' Despite his father being in critical condition in the ICU, X remained in the US to work on what he called a 'multi-million dollar deal.' He only flew to India after his father's death — staying for three days and leaving right after the baithak. 'No Asthi Visarjan, none of the other rituals stating that these are all superstitions which we don't believe in,' Kheterpal added, expressing his dismay at how the family rituals were brushed aside. Perhaps the most heartbreaking detail: X's wife and children did not accompany him to India. 'She has a job & kids have school,' X reportedly said — a reason that didn't sit well with many who read the post. 'All along, I've believed that the Indian family values, our rituals and bonding are much better & stronger than anywhere else in the world. But this incident has shaken me to the core!' Kheterpal wrote. The thread, which quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked a larger debate over the 'changing face of Indian society', the cost of global ambitions, and the waning significance of traditional family bonds and rituals. While some users sympathised with the practical realities of living abroad and managing careers, many echoed Kheterpal's concerns, lamenting what they see as the growing 'disintegration of Indian family values.' Here are some of the reactions: A user wrote: 'Amusing how you threw your friend under the bus publicly for a tweet.' To which Kheterpal responded: 'Amusing how you threw your friend under the bus publicly for a tweet.' Another user wrote: 'Nobody comes to India just for 3 days from the US. Traveling itself takes one whole day. Jet lag makes it more difficult. His father was already 84, and he must have refused to stay with his son, as traveling and cold weather make it difficult for the elderly to live in the US. He must have arranged to hire helpers to take care of his father. You are clearly targeting your friend here without providing any proof. You even claimed that you paid the hospital bills. If you are telling the truth, reveal the details of the elderly man and his son, along with hospital documents and bills.' Reacting to this, Kheterpal said: 'Quite an astonishing response! In the whole thing, you just noticed the fact that 'nobody comes to India for 3 days.' Your IQ is at a different level.' A third user said: 'Deeply heartbreaking. What once felt rare has now become the new normal…Settling abroad — in the USA or Europe — has become the ultimate goal for many. Returning to India? Not a part of the plan anymore. Back home, aging parents wait silently, hoping their children will return to care for them. But for many children, once the parents are gone, the only plan is to sell everything and move on — house, memories, roots. Shocking recent data reveals that nearly two lakh Indians have renounced their citizenship — a silent goodbye to their homeland. What are we truly gaining... and what are we losing?'

Chicken Manchurian Isn't Chinese — It's Indian, With A Surprising Cricket Twist
Last Updated: Chicken Manchurian didn't come from China, it was born in a Mumbai cricket club kitchen by an Indian chef. A spicy Indo-Chinese fusion, now loved around the world You might think the dish called Chicken Manchurian came from China, as the name seems obvious. But the truth is far more surprising, and it all begins in India, with a cricket club. Born In Mumbai, Not Manchuria Despite its exotic name, Manchurian didn't originate in China or even in the Manchurian region in Northeast Asia. It was created in 1975 in Mumbai by Nelson Wang, a Chinese-Indian chef born in Kolkata, West Bengal. He had relocated to Mumbai and was working at the Cricket Club of India when a demand for something novel led to its creation. This is where Indo‑Chinese cuisine truly began. The Man Behind The Manchurian Faced with an eager crowd, Nelson Wang combined Indian kitchen staples, garlic, ginger and green chillies, with Chinese sauces like soy sauce and cornflour coating. He deep‑fried small pieces of boneless chicken in this spicy mix, creating an umami-rich dish that paired well with Indian taste preferences. The result? A brand-new fusion dish, Chicken Manchurian, that felt both familiar and exotic. This vibrant Chinese-Indian community ran tanneries, dental clinics, and restaurants, until the 1962 India–China war triggered anti-Chinese sentiment. Many left or were deported, and today only about 4,000 remain, yet the culinary legacy remains vibrant. China Garden And Spread Of Indo-Chinese Cuisine Nelson Wang later founded the iconic China Garden in Mumbai, introducing a new culinary style that mixed Chinese ingredients with Indian cooking techniques. It played a pivotal role in popularising Indo-Chinese dishes like Gobi Manchurian and Paneer Manchurian. His son, Eddie Wang, later expanded the chain to cities including Goa, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Kathmandu, spreading this East-meets-West cuisine to a global audience. From Mumbai To The World — But Not China Chicken Manchurian is now a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide, from the UK and Canada to Australia and the Middle East. Yet in China, it remains largely unheard of, its bold, spicy flavours contrasting with the more muted tastes favoured in traditional Chinese cuisine. Still, in the Chinese cities like Shanghai and Beijing, you'll find Manchurian — in Indian restaurants, of course. view comments First Published: August 05, 2025, 13:11 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
