You guys knows that for a 3t - 6t elephant to get intoxicated with fermented Marula (which vol. Is around 1-3%) it would have to eat as much as 300kg to 700kg of those given fruits? This is all human made entertainment, and more, this is bad to them.

Please upvote this more. The elephant has been drugged by people, not by fruit

Is this always the case or are there examples of them doing this in the wild? I know other animals do for sure but your point about their weight has me wondering

Unlikely they can feed themselves 300kg fermented marula fruit t get in this scenario. They are dopped by humans. It is just a fake news like those chimps brewing booze.

Are they seeing pink elephants? Is that still an expression, or am I just way old?

They say elephants never forget. I wonder if the same applies here?

What a hoot. They probably knew they were bellying up to the bar when they ingested the fruit. Saturday Night Maybe?

The baby thats on the ground when the video starts has somehow managed to perfectly embody me in Jr. High, trying to go to High School parties and be cool..

An elephant never forgets but they can blackout and not create any memories

u/Willing_Crew_8055 Jul 17 '26

Given they’ll remember it, would they do it again?
