Highlights:
- Video of Peacock flying is going viral
- Video was shared by an officer from Indian Forest Service on Twitter
The internet has been taken over by a video of a Peacock flying at the Ranthambore National Park in the state of Rajasthan. The 8 seconds clip was recorded by Harsha Narasimhamurthy, a wildlife photographer and shared by Susanta Nanda, an Indian Forest Service officer, on Twitter.
Due to its long-tail features, a Peacock cannot remain airborne for long, however, the bird can fly short distances. A Peacock first runs and then hops in order to take a flight. If you have ever seen a peacock up close you would know of the tail feather, but what you may not know is that they can grow as long as 6 feet and constitute around 60% if the bird’s body length.
In the video, the Peacock flies to the lowest branch of the tree close to it.
Susanta Nanda writes, “This is how a peacock flies. The tail feathers might grow upto six feet and is more than 60% of body length.”
This is reportedly filmed by @HJunglebook. All credits to him.
