Not as insane as the people that report this stuff , I'm guessing what ever the Indian equivalent to "mescal" (the worm is not your friend) would be plus some questionable fungi (or other indigenous psychoactive ingestibles ) and a "few" hookah pipes full of hash was involved in this sighting , That or nature has come up with a way to deal with all the cows wandering around over there

Hmm... WikiPedia isn't so sure about this one - Man-eating Tree.

It would make more sense if the tree was trying to eat a dog

when you consider what dogs do to the trees!

Uh oh......boy is my pup in trouble if these cow eating trees come to Australia!? My sweet little pup not only likes to water the trees but has a habit of backing up on them for a no:2!!
