A video of a horrifying encounter between a man and a gaur, also known as Indian bison, was recently shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan and has shocked many on the internet. The video shows the animal throwing the man into the air after he provoked it.
In the now viral clip, a man can be seen provoking the animal, despite being warned by other people. However, after ignoring repeated warnings, the irritated bison charged at the man and then threw him up in the air. The man falls to the ground and is seen running to a shelter.

While sharing the clip, Mr Kaswan said, “In Hindi there is a saying – Aa bail mujhe maar. Here is practical. This person even after warning provoked an adult Guar – putting everybody in danger. Gaur went into residential area. Happened before our team reached. Our teams reached & rescued the animal. With much difficulty though. Don’t provoke Wildlife unnecessarily. It is dangerous.”
In another post, Mr Kaswan said that “every wildlife has a safe distance.” He added, “When you breach that they feel threatened. And animals like gaurs are neurotic, they behave in confusing way. Which results in injury to wildlife and public.” He informed that the team was able to conduct a rescue operation without any major injury to anybody. The IFS officer also said that the person in the video is safe.
