A very unusual incident has taken place recently. A few days ago a heart-warming video went viral that took the netizens by surprise. In the video, it was witnessed that a bunch of elephants has invaded a local village that is located in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India. The group of elephants, as expected, ravaged more than 300 banana trees that were growing in the garden of a local villager.
On the other hand, the element of surprise was that they successfully managed to destroy all the banana trees standing in the garden except one. They consciously left one single banana tree. This is mainly due to the reason that that specific tree had a nest.
This startling incident took place in a village named Sathyamangala in the Erode district of Tamil Nadu. The house in which the elephants had barged into belongs to a man named Krishnamurthy. The elephants broke in and dismantled all his banana trees except one.
After the elephants left the vicinity, the local residents came to survey the site of destruction and look into the damage done by the group of elephants. Nonetheless, the people were in for a rather wholesome surprise. What they saw in the ravaged site was that those wild and violent elephants had spared one banana tree from their wrath.

Nested Tree Spared From Elephants’ Wrath
When the residents surveyed the garden of Krishnamurthy, they found one sole banana tree that was spared from the violence of those elephants. The main reason behind this was a nest that had a few hatchlings as well as a mother sparrow. This mother of these baby sparrows had been taking care of them in that banana tree nest.
The clip that went viral had been shared by a local Tamil channel called Thanthi TV. Following the broadcast of this short clipping, Twitter and other social media platforms also picked it up and made it viral. People absolutely loved this pure and delightful clip of this rare phenomenon.
