You won t understand a word, but the video s a hoot! There are trees that grow in Africa which, once a year, produce very juicy fruits that contain a large percentage of alcohol. Because there is a shortage of water, as soon as the fruits are ripe, animals come there to help protect themselves from the heat. What happens next, you can see for yourselves.

An Uncle of mine had a farm in a small valley outside of Hood River, Oregon. His property abutted National Forest on 2 sides and peach and apple orchards on the other 2 sides. We could set at his kitchen table and watch fairly large groups (30+)of elk as they fed on the over ripe fruit each morning before they would move back in the forest for the daylight hours. While I don't know if they were actually drunk on the fermenting fruit when ever you would open one up the odor was distinctly alcohol in nature. The Uncle always maintained that he grew the "best damned elk liver in the world" due to the fruit from the orchards and alfalfa from his place. Come to think of it, it was always pretty easy to walk up on these elk in the timber, maybe they weren't just sleeping maybe they were "sleeping it off" Oh yah, for those bitching about NKLR content: BITE ME Monte A16 Ketchikan, AK

No one can get a bite in edgewise. You're much to busy biting yourself. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
