The abundance of the Marula fruit around Singita Sabi
Sand, South Africa, this winter proved to be a great excuse for
some elephants to party. Like apples on the ground, Marula fruit
ferment after they fall off a tree.
An African legend describes the results, and these photos
provide the evidence, showing the massive pachyderms as they get
hammered. In fact, eyewitnesses described the elephants stumbling,
falling over and otherwise displaying signs of boozing familiar to
humans.
