Since shared the clip has been viewed over 100 times. It has also been shared on Twitter where it has been over 836 thousand and racked up a variety of comments. While some have opined that people should have helped it, other have written that it might have scared the rodent.
One user wrote," And the person who made this video, instead of helping this poor animal by stopping water from entering that place, should be ashamed of himself. He could have helped her."
Another wrote, " Animals just living and dying don’t make any difference. With humans and their intelligence, we’re supposed to have goals and aims. We’re designed to understand science and logic."
Why God invented Human....?? Animals are just speechless, they never harm anybody intentionally if ever than only for their safety or in some cases if dying from hunger. Otherwise they make a beautiful world altogether. They are true family people.

Why God created Human???
Very disturbing...if i would be there i will try to block the water from entering the hole by any means until each of them is rescued.i will certainly not make video of this

There were not many options to help. Trying to go near it would scare it away. And I'm not sure a human could have tried to pull out the children in time without damaging the burrow and burying those children. It was best left to the mother.

i feel there were more babies inside poor maa
Like really? Where will you find mud in extreme rain to cover such a huge hole? And by that time the babies wd have drowned. In span of 3-5 min she cud save 4-5 of her babies. Mother knows the best!
