Happy Hour in Africa


Read ... before you open the attachment
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 French documentary about Africa.  You may not understand French, but the video is funny.

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.
Thanks Richard.... funny even on the second trip around
