drunk elephants and giraffes

[redspice55]

Elephants cannot get drunk. They won't eat any of the fruit on the ground, only from the trees, and it doesn't last long enuf to ferment. "An elephant would need to eat fermenting marulas at 400 times their maximum daily intake in order to get trunk and disorderly." (quoted from another website)

this is the same footage that the movie "overdrawn at the memory bank" used. in fact, i just watched the mst3k version 10 minutes ago. bizarre.

[smellyface101]

man do i wanna party with them

[easypimpin123]

funniest video ive seen all day. granted its 930am still, drunk animals what could be more funny

[WildlifeObsessed]

Just fabulous. Had me in stitches. An absolute gem. What month was this shot. Thanks so much. Hic. Cheers. More water with it next time.

[chrisscross2000]

The fruit contains yeast, the yeast ferments like alcohol therefore making animals wasted

[tiemedown]

I would more likely to believe this story if it was only a few animals who primarily ate off the ground...the chances that the entire safari went on a bender...

[TimForssman]

This is untrue. I eat those fruit all the time and they do not make you drunk. Those in the movie look perfectly ripe and an overly ripe fruit is probably rotten. I have also read and heard that this was rigged and the marula's were injected with alcohol.

[ToolsnFire]

Wait!!!!! The Wikipedia entry states "In the movie Animals Are Beautiful People by Jamie Uys, released in 1974, some scenes portray elephants, warthogs and monkeys becoming intoxicated from eating fermented marula fruit. Later research showed that these scenes were improbable and, in all probability, staged." What are we going to think!!! Let's do tests!

[Deidredit]

man, they're wasted!

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

My favourite is the legless Ostrich

[CyberSalvation]

I want to see a video of their disposition the next morning, hehe, "I'm not making coffee this morning, you do it or go without - I'm hung-over, etc,"

[greengrendel]

I am reminded of that time I forgot a bunch of grapes in a lunchbox, on a very hot day. Oh my, that strong smell! And they tasted all tingly. I bet if I had eaten the lot I would have been a bit drunk.

[greengrendel]

Oh lol.

[FANGSinBLOOD]

[cubezero1]

[andrewatchison1991]

[anonymouscrank]

Sounds like the narrator from The Gods Must Be Crazy?

[TheDoctor10]

is that matt smith?

[roidroid]

Google for the wiki article on Marula Tree.

It will tell you that this video is fake.

[Renrooni]

then why does it say this: Fruits are commonly eaten fresh or used to prepare juice, jelly and alcoholic drink. The alcoholic distilled beverage (maroela mampoer) made from the fruit is referenced in the stories of the South African writer Herman Charles Bosman.

[roidroid]

Here are 2 sentences:

- "Humans make Wine from grapes".

- "Animals gorge themselves on rotting grapes and get drunk".

Do you believe these sentences are saying the same thing?

[mahesus1]

[dudemantwo]

What kind of British accent is this?

It is very colonial...

[g0fvt]

I know some say this is a myth, however many years ago our dog (a collie) took to eating plums that had fallen on the ground. A bit like humans despite getting drunk and ill he was keen to go back for more the following day.

[Hookstra]

Rolling through the forest, chewing apples, munching on rotten fruit. (Laid back) With my mind on bananas and bananas on my mind.

[OpticasGomez]

Fruit will rot, but not ferment. Nice try.
