Cow-Eating Tree

I heard about this tree in India that grabbed this cow right off the ground and tried to eat it. Why in the world would a tree try to eat a cow; I thought trees used- not even actually ate, used!- soil, water, sunshine, and a few other things. I didn't think they ATE COWS! What is this world coming to when cows aren't safe from trees?! Luckily, the cow was saved by some villagers who beat up the tree. Oh well, I guess there's no reason to cry over almost-eaten-by-a tree cow.
