The elephant was seen raising its legs on the tree trunk to reach the jackfruit, while the locals were heard cheering and clapping.
Videos of elephants are usually fascinating and enjoyable to watch. From taking a mud bath to sliding down slopes, the internet is flooded with such amazing videos. An elephant, meanwhile, was seen in a video struggling to pluck a jackfruit from a tree, encouraged by the locals. Jackfruit is to Elephants what Mangoes are to humans.. and the applause by humans at the successful effort of this determined elephant to get to Jackfruits is absolutely heartwarming ????video- shared pic.twitter.com/Gx83TST8kV Oh man .. that's atleast a 60ft stretch! What tremendous power..to be streching up to that height. They have power even to crash down the tree in one push. I love how these people are happy at the elephant grabbing food from the tree. How do they eat the fruit? Would they open it somehow? Are chew with the hardskin? They can crush hard fruits into chewable size. Bigger jackfruit they crush into pieces smaller they can simply chew pic.twitter.com/rO1Ovni4Y7 Elephants can smell a ripe jackfruit from distance will reach that. I didn't know they loved jackfruit !! It has always been Elephant n Ganna (of course the paddy fields n all come together)
In the 30-second clip shared by Supriya Sahu, an Indian Administrative Services officer, the elephant was seen raising its legs on the tree's trunk to reach the jackfruit. Villagers shooting the video were heard cheering for the animal and they clapped when it succeeded.
"Jackfruit is to elephants what mangoes are to humans. And the applause by humans at the successful effort of this determined elephant to get to jackfruits is absolutely heartwarming," the caption read.
