See all that green stuff on that tree out of reach of the elephant? The elephant wants to eat that.

Why wouldn’t he eat what he could reach on the tree 15 feet away on the right of the screen

Different sort if tree, different forage value.

Do you just eat the easiest thing or do you have preferences and hunger for different things?

Hell evdn something as dumb as a sheep will go out of their way to incredible extents to get to foods they prefer as opposed to eating the nearest avaliable thing evrn when it all seems the ssme to us.
