Happy Hour and Jungle Juice in Africa

This is a real video from a French documentary about Africa ... It's narrated in French, but don't worry about whether can understand it or not, the video is funny. There are trees (Marula tree) that grow in Africa which, once a year, produce very juicy fruits that contain a large 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, as soon as the fruits are ripe, animals come there to 'drink' and help protect themselves from the heat. What happens next, you can watch for yourselves. You can easily tell who over indulged!... PS - You can buy a great liqueur named "Amarula," which is made with Marula fruit and cream.
