Happy Hour in Africa





Read ... before you watch.......

Watch the elephants knock the fruit out of the tree and all the animals eat it off the ground. This is a real video from a documentary about Africa.

There are trees that grow in Africa which, once a year, produce very juicy fruit that contain a high percentage of alcohol.

The tree is known as the "Elephant Tree" because elephants have a fondness for the fruit. Because there is a shortage of water in that area, as soon as the fruits are ripe, animals come there to help relieve themselves of the heat. You will easily know who has over-indulged!

The tree is the Marula tree. You can buy a great liqueur named "Amarula" which is made with the fruit and cream. Yummyyyyyyy.

Hilarious! I wonder what they take for the hangover.:D

Well I am dating myself here, but I remember seeing that in the 70's when I was a kid. Still very funny. I wonder if the coyotes in the backyard get drunk from our rotting apples/
