An incredible video clip of a wild elephant going to desperate lengths in his attempts to pluck jackfruit high up on a tree next to a human habitation, posted by IAS officer and wildlife enthusiast Supriya Sahu, has gone viral on social media.
Jackfruit is to Elephants what Mangoes are to humans.. and the applause by humans at the successful effort of this determined elephant to get to Jackfruits is absolutely heartwarming 😝

The video shows the elephant making multiple attempts to accomplish the difficult task before he eventually succeeding to get the fruit. The elephant stretches itself to its full vertical length by standing on its hind legs and putting its forelegs against the tree and then using its trunk to reach the fruit and pulling it down.
The local villagers appear to be cheering on the elephant and start clapping when it ultimately succeeds.
