Bull on a scooter? Viral video leaves internet in splits

A bizarre and hilarious video from Rishikesh, Uttarakhand has gone viral, showing a stray bull attempting to ride a scooter, sparking amusement across social media platforms.

In the widely shared clip, the bull is seen calmly trailing a white scooter before suddenly making a U-turn and placing its front legs on the vehicle—pushing it forward several feet in an almost comical attempt to mount it.

A woman and a school-aged child walking nearby appear startled by the bull’s antics. The woman swiftly lifts the child and steps aside. By the time she turns around, the bull has already pushed the scooter a short distance.

The unexpected scene has prompted a flurry of humorous reactions online. Social media users responded with jokes and memes, with one calling the bull a “heavy driver,” another quipping, “The bull took a test drive—maybe he’s planning to buy it,” and others dubbing the moment “Dhoom with horns.”

The video quickly became one of the most talked-about clips in India this week, with users sharing it across platforms and adding their own comedic twists.

This isn’t the first time an animal’s unusual behavior has gone viral in India. In an earlier incident at Naduvattam Police Station in Tamil Nadu’s Nilgiris district, a leopard casually wandered into the premises while an officer was on duty.

That viral video showed the leopard entering through an open door, briefly exploring the station, and then exiting without incident. The visibly shaken officer hid during the encounter and only emerged once the animal had left, promptly shutting the door behind him.

Supriya Sahu, Tamil Nadu’s Additional Chief Secretary for Forests, later confirmed the video’s authenticity, adding that no one was harmed during the leopard’s visit.

Both clips have captivated the internet, offering unexpected moments of humor and surprise from India’s ever-unpredictable streets.
