A video of a man paragliding with a black vulture has taken the internet by storm. The short clip has been viewed more than 15.2 million times. 

In the video, one can see the black vulture calmly flying with a paraglider at a height of thousands of feet. Green forests and buildings are visible below. The bird is also seen adjusting its flight in the air by moving the rear part of its body (or the tail) up-down and right-left. 

Seconds into the clip, the huge vulture is then seen landing on the paraglider's feet, while the person starts caressing it.

Other users were simply surprised to see the scene. “Magical. Peak life. Could not ever have a better experience,” wrote one user. “That is a once in a lifetime event. That is amazing,” said another.

A third user jokingly added, “Pretty sure that bird was assessing snackability right there. But WHAT a moment. Awesome.” “Don't know how often that happens but how very cool to experience something like that. Of course, the altitude alone would be mind-blowing,” said fourth.
