Drunk elephants stagger around after eating fermented marula fruit
Online Edition
HILARIOUS pictures were taken after a herd of young elephants at a South African park ate a fruit which is said to make large mammals drunk when eaten in huge quantities, Daily Mail reported yesterday.
Marula fruit - said to be sweet, tart and refreshing - apparently has an intoxicating effect when consumed after it has ripened and fallen to the ground, the report said.
Ross Couper, a field guide at Singita Kruger National Park in South Africa, saw the elephants begin to stumble around and fall over their siblings, according to the report.
He said: ‘We watched in awe because the youngsters definitely seemed to display signs of being rather tipsy.’
However, it has also been claimed that the unusual behaviour is actually caused by eating beetle pupae that live in the bark of marula trees, the report said.
