An Indian administrative services officer, Supriya Sahu, who works as Additional Chief Secretary for Environment, Climate Change, and Forests, Government of Tamil Nadu, has shared an interesting video that is getting a lot of traction on Twitter.
The post has two parts: a photo and a video, both of which show two vivid, yellow-and-black birds perched on a tree taking off and engaging in aerial combat.The image and the video were both captured by professional photographer K. A. Dhanuparan, who also won an award for these extraordinary visuals.
She shared the post with a caption that reads, "Hundreds of Great Hornbills congregate in Nelliyampathy and Valparai regions in Tamil Nadu every year. Here is a brilliant capture of 'mid air casque butting' when two hornbills engage in an aggressive fight, hitting with their casques. Captured by Dhanuparan."
However, many Twitter users corrected her writing to say that Nelliyampathy is in Kerala.
