MAHOTTARI: Over 100 blue bulls have suddenly appeared in more than half dozen villages in South-West of the district near the Nepal-India border recently.

According to locals, blue bulls were spotted at Manara, Ekdara, Itharwakatti, Bholahi, Pokharbhinda, Samsi among other villages in the district.

A local Devendra Ojha shared that people from nearby villages thronged to see the animals as they abruptly appeared in large number.

The animals were reportedly destroying the crops and creating havoc in the locality.

Such animals used to appear in the area during the dry seasons when the wild fire destroyed forests but this season a large number of these animals have been seen, which is quite surprising, shared the locals.
