 "Watch: Elephant struggles to get jackfruit high up on tree; here's how it got its favourite fruit")
All of us often go to extreme lengths to have our favourite food if we get a craving for it. Turns out, elephants are no different. A video of a jumbo stretching itself and making efforts to reach a jackfruit high up on a tree has gone viral. The video was posted by Supriya Sahu, the Additional Chief Secretary Environment Climate Change & Forests, Government of Tamil Nadu. The clip sees an elephant shaking the tree so that the jackfruits can fall down. When that does not happen, it raises itself up on its hind legs. In the background, a couple of people can be heard laughing at the animal. Supporting itself with the help of the tree, the jumbo then stretches its trunk and snatches the jackfruit at the top of the tree. The people then applaud its efforts as the video ends. “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”, wrote Sahu will sharing the clip. Watch:

I have seen them shaking the tree to knock down fruits from the higher branches. Will then crush it with the foot to extract the fruity pulp.
