ShreyaApples And Carrots
As unbelievable as it sounds, it can be seen in the video clip that after pulling the crow out, Vali just went back to eating carrots and apples! Some might think of her as a disgrace to the bear community but online commentators have a perfectly reasonable explanation for Vali’s behavior.
‘Unbearable’
The website issued a statement which reads, “the crow was lucky to meet Vali instead of the other tenant of the paddock named Defoe, as the latter probably would have had a taste of the blackbird.” So was it the kind nature of Vali or the good luck of the crow? And if it was the former, why did she act so ‘un-bearable’?
Crow Stayed A While
The fact that the bear was not actually trying to hurt the crow is also proven by the fact that the crow did not fly away or try to leave bear’s vicinity for quite some time. It shows that, though confused, it had by now garnered trust in Vali, that she was not interested in it, and thus it was safe to rest a while there.
Not THAT Strange
Cross-species altruistic acts are not unknown in nature. Some commentators believe that kindness comes naturally in some cases and it has nothing to do with the species of the animals. Before going on to Vali’s video and understanding her actions, here are a few examples of different animals helping each other in distress and it is overwhelming.
Lioness And Calf
A lioness saved a calf from another lion and, no, not to have it all for herself but to save its life. If THIS can happen, then believing that Vali actually was trying to save the crow all along doesn’t sound so far-fetched now, does it? Even lionesses saving other animals in wild is not unknown.
Dog And Fish
This is almost heartbreaking. The fish is clearly beyond help here but the little pupper, who looks extremely sad by the state of affairs is doing the best it could to save the life of this almost dead animal. Dogs epitomize compassion and this is just another proof of that.
