Are they drunk or what? This video shows a wide variety of African wildlife feeding on the fruit of the marula tree. It shows the feasting animals acting a bit more than a little tipsy after eating the fermented fruit. Of course there is some controversy around videos like this. Some scientists say that the behavior documented in this video isn't possible. I guess it's possible that the wobbling animals developed severe inner ear infections, but I tend to believe the scientists are wrong. For an synopsis of the scientific contrarian view read Elephants Drunk in the Wild? Scientists Put the Myth to Rest.
