A cheeky calf was captured attempting to push a tourist off a bridge in southwestern China.

The video was filmed in Lijiang City in Yunnan Province on February 8.

An unsuspecting tourist was engrossed in the breathtaking view from a wooden bridge when a cheeky calf decided to join the scene. Out of nowhere, with mischief clearly in mind, the calf sneaks up on the oblivious girl, aiming to nudge her off her spot.

With lightning reflexes, the girl clung to a nearby tree, preventing a potential splash into the waters below.

A netizen chimed in online to reveal that he too fell victim to the same "repeat rascal".

On 8 February, an interesting video documented a hilarious human-animal interaction that took place in Yunnan, China.

The video shows a calf walking peacefully on a small wooden bridge at a scenic spot, while a tourist girl stands on the edge of the bridge enjoying the view.

Suddenly, as if some idea had struck the mischievous cow out of the blue, it came close to the tourist without warning, and attempted to push the girl off the trail.

Fortunately, the fast-response lady managed to keep her balance by holding a tree and avoid dropping; and the little demon then drank the water leisurely.

By coincidence, a netizen who has also travelled to this resort before commented that this prank happened to him as well. This innocent cow seems to be a “repeat rascal”.
