Gotta love the SFX

Great post

I assumed this video to be false (well, at least the concept of animals getting drunk - especially zebras, giraffes, and elephants off rotten fruit) and some quick research suggests it to be so:

You can catalogue this video right beside the disney video of lemmings committing mass suicide.

The marula fruit is also eaten by various animals in Southern Africa. In the movie Animals Are Beautiful People by Jamie Uys, released in 1974, some scenes were shown where elephants, warthogs and monkeys got drunk from eating fermented marula fruit. Later research showed that these scenes were improbable and, in all probability, staged. Elephants would need a huge amount of fermented marulas to have any effect on them, and other animals prefer the ripe fruit. The amount of water drunk by elephants each day would also dilute the effect of the fruit to such an extent that they would not be affected by it.
