This is the amusing moment a playful crow was spotted bullying a stray cat.

Footage shows the black bird following the seemingly irritated white and orange feline at a park in Beijing, China.

The mischievous avian can be seen jumping and teasing the moggy on May 25.

This prompted the furry creature to turn around repeatedly to fend off the crow as it walked out of the area.

The filmer said: 'I was shocked yet entertained by them. The bird was a bully, and it's something I don't see every day.'

Researchers have found that crows are highly intelligent and social birds, known for their playful and curious nature.

They often interact with other animals through teasing or play, which can be part of their social behaviour or a way to establish dominance.

In urban areas, crows have adapted well to human environments and sometimes display bold behaviours, such as following or provoking other animals, to satisfy their curiosity or challenge potential threats.
