This clip showed how birds and animals have altered their behaviour in accordance with the urban infrastructure.

In August, a video that showed a seagull ‘shoplifting’ a sandwich from a general store made waves online. The clip, taken in Scotland, showed a seagull entering a grocery store through its automatic doors.

The clever bird then picks up a packed sandwich, but finds itself stuck inside the store. Luckily, a passerby notices the bird and steps in front of the store’s automatic door to trigger its opening. After getting out, the seagull proceeds to eat the sandwich outside the shop.

Last year, a viral video showed a herd of elephants plucking out sugarcanes from a truck standing stationary in the middle of the road. Parveen Kaswan, IFS officer, shared this undated video on X. Kaswan compared the elephants’ behaviour to paying taxes and wrote, “Tax deduction at source !!”
