Wild fish comes every day to greet farmer who saved its life
- 7 years ago
A remarkable video has emerged from India of a farmer who has a unique friendship with a wild cat fish after saving its life.
The footage shows Prakash Patil, 54, visiting a local pond in his village Yede Machindra in Sangli district and calling the fish over.
Amazingly, the fish surfaces, swims close, even lets him pull it out of water.
A neighbouring farmer in his village told Patil that a fish had washed up into his farm along with the water released from a canal, and asked him to take it away.
Patil found the fish, which was stranded in a puddle of water, alive but inert. He carried it home in a plastic container with water and was amazed to see it reviving. He then shifted it to a water tank and fed it for over a month.
As the fish grew in size and turned very active, he released it in the local pond.
