A regular sight
Meanwhile, according to a media report, the video was shot by a forest watcher Bijo Baby. Bijo reportedly said that he was relaxing along with four other workmates near the Kannampally camp shed in the Silent Valley National Park. It was around 6:00pm when he and his team noticed the baby elephant plucking a jackfruit which was at a height of 25 feet near their shed.
While speaking to the media outlet, Bijo also said that after eating the first jackfruit, the tusker plucked the second one too in the same way by raising its front legs stretching full length and grabbing the fruit with its trunk. He also informed that the elephants are fond of jackfruit and they often come out of the wild just to eat the fruit.
