New Delhi: A video of a full grown trout performing ‘somersaults’ in Wahrew river in East Khasi Hills posted by a forest officer has gone viral with hundreds of hits.
The video of the trout jumping out of the water has taken the internet by storm. Re-tweeted by IFS Officer Susanta Nanda, the short clip shows a trout fish performing ‘somersaults’ in Wahrew river.
While calling it a ‘Saturday cheer’ amid such unprecedented times, Twitter user Dharitri Patnaik shared the short clip on Saturday. In the ‘slo-mo’ video, one can see the fish leaping out of the river several times.
Trouts usually jump out of the water to catch flying insects such as dragonflies and others. While flapping its tail high above the water, the fish can be seen repeatedly ascending and then going back in the water.
