A video of an elephant attempting to climb a tree after failing to resist the allure of a jackfruit has gone viral on social media. The video, which was shared by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan shows the animal mounting a tree with its front legs while pulling off a jackfruit with its truck.
“This #elephant got talent. Climbing a tree for #Jackfruit, which they love a lot. And he is eating it so nicely. Elephants can smell ripening jackfruits from quite a distance which many a time brings them close to human habitations,” read Kaswan’s tweet, which soon went viral.
