- Watch as this African Elephant uses its strength to push a Marula Tree and make the delicious fruit fall to the ground. See how elephants feast on Marula fruit in their natural habitat!
Witness nature's ingenuity in action as an elephant bull demonstrates remarkable finesse while foraging for marula fruit. Amidst the lush landscape of Kruger National Park, these giants of the savannah use their skilled trunks and acute sense of smell to gather the small, round marula fruit that grace the trees during summer. Like a symphony of coordination, the elephant's trunk becomes a precision instrument, sniffing out the ripest spots before delicately plucking the fruit with a deft twist and bringing it to its mouth. This unique method occasionally allows the trunk to capture up to five fruits at once, while swiftly discarding any unexpected stones.
Unravel the truth behind the marula myth as researchers dispel the notion of intoxication, revealing the elephants' mastery in savoring the marula's bounty straight from the tree.

That male is quite the fritzer. But he doesn't shake the tree all that hard, he has respect for it. You could say he's a Marulaphant here. You see a bit of paradise in how nothing is killed here. The tree gives the pericarp of its fruit, and the elephant obliges in the spread of the tree by pooping out the tree's embryo here and there.

They put the Marulo into a cream liquor, like Baileys. It's great stuff. It tastes similar to chocolate.
