While thousands were trying to survive the floods in Brazil, one image left the world completely confused. A cow appeared standing on the roof of a house after a violent extratropical cyclone.

The strange case occurred in Estela, Rio Grande do Sul, one of the areas hit by extreme rain, strong winds, and flooding. Photos of the animal on the roof began circulating on social media and quickly went viral. No one understood how it had gotten there… much less how it was still alive.

Some believe the water current dragged it there during the floods. Others suggest that a powerful wind vortex lifted it into the air before dropping it onto the house.
