Peacock refuses to leave ‘long time partner’ after its death
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
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
