This video left the netizens speechless. However, few netizens took over to the comment section to express their concern. While few said that humans should learn from the swan, others simply agreed with Indian Forest Service official Susanta Nanda's caption. Few people also retweeted the video and added their own captions.

Animal videos have become a recent trend on social media. This is not the first time an animal video has gone viral. Few days back, a video showing a group of people directing a duck and its two ducklings to cross a busy street in New York has left netizens in awe. Not only are the internet users lauding humans for taking care of the animals and stopping the traffic but also said that it was the “best thing” they watched in several months of lockdown. The short clip was posted by @whatisnewyork on Instagram on July 4 and has already garnered over 185k views and thousands of comments. In the viral clip, humans can be seen leading the way for tiny animals from one side of the road to another.
