This Will Really Put ‘Elephants Never Forget’ To The Test.

In Kruger National Park in South Africa, a small herd of elephants were

 found stumbling around. No one fed them alcohol, these elephants got themselves drunk.
They found and ate massive quantities of fermented marula fruit.
When that fruit in particular fermented, it turned into edible

alcohol that the elephants gobbled up.

A field guide named Ross Couper discovered the drunk elephants.

 He saw that the group of youngsters were acting 
strangely and investigated… 

 And it turns out they were just having a wild night. 

 After eating the fermented fruit, the young elephants
 were inebriated.

 Although, it’s possible they were a little tipsy from eating 
the beetle pupae that live in the bark of marula trees.

 No matter how it happened… 

 These elephants were wasted. 

 Once someone calls their mothers, they’re going to be in
 SO much trouble.

 Note: The were all OK in the next morning!
Hmm, this scene actually looks a little familiar…
