😃🆒 I can’t stop laughing at this poor guy. Maybe he shouldn’t have grazed on so much hops and barley earlier that day? 😛 Must have fermented in his stomach.

I’ve wondered if an elephant could survive a hard fall. Google indicates the African forest elephant is 6,000 lbs. The African bush elephant 13,000 lbs. How something that heavy can survive a fall is amazing. It would have crushed anything on the ground. This elephant went down hard and appears unhurt. Didn’t seem to have any problem getting up either. Fascinating creatures.
