A bull in India didn’t fancy walking, so it decided to take a scooter for a joyride. The wandering animal was captured on security cameras in India deciding to take a scooter for a ride.

Traditionally, bulls are not considered friendly animals, which is why riding and running with them is big in Spain. Surprisingly, the creature did not attack anyone on the footage and appeared lost, just looking for a way to get around.

What is the story of the scooter-riding bull?

In  Rishikesh, Uttarakhand in India, a camera captured a video of the bizarre moment.

You can see the video here.

In the grainy video, the black animal is walking down a quiet street, and it sees the white scooter parked on the side of the road. Curiously, it turns around to sniff and check out the scooter.

After that, in an unpredictable move, the animal gets up on its hind legs and climbs aboard the scooter. For a few metres, it uses its back legs to push forward on the scooter, with its front legs holding onto the vehicle.

In the video, a woman walking nearby with her child quickly scoops the child up and walks hurriedly away from the scene.

However, the confused animal, none the wiser, rides the scooter for a few seconds before crashing into a black gate.

Thankfully, the animal does not get injured in the video, and walks away unscathed like it didn’t hijack someone’s scooter.

How did the internet react to the viral moment?

The internet found the viral video hilarious.

One user joked, “Action for unauthorised parking”.

More effective than traffic wardens!

“Why should humans have all the fun?” asked another user.

Well, animals may learn to operate vehicles eventually…

Meanwhile, one user asked, “Does the bull have a driver’s license?”

Look him up on the DMV.

One user chimed in with a punny joke. “Udderly wild,” the user posted.

However, one user was asking the real questions, like how you explain a bull stealing a scooter to the insurance people. In this case, there is evidence!
