Overview

• An Instagram video by animal rescuer Sai Vignesh shows a three-month-old bull calf named Mr Alex living in a 28th-floor apartment in Chennai with views of the Bay of Bengal.
• The owner, identified by India Today as architectural designer Thejaswini S Rangan, says she brought the calf home for treatment after he was hit by a speeding vehicle in Neelankarai when he was under a month old.
• Rangan describes Mr Alex as gentle and fond of cuddles, noting he has recovered strength, spends time on the balcony, and eats Napier grass alongside the household’s dogs.
• Social media responses range from praise for the rescue to concerns about future logistics, including the calf’s size, elevator access, and toilet training.
• Current reporting is based on Vignesh’s video and the owner’s account, which explain why the calf remains in the high-rise during his recovery.
