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.</p>

The local villagers appear to be cheering on the elephant and start clapping when it ultimately succeeds.  </p>
