The video of the bold tusker making the acrobatic effort to reach for and pluck the jackfruit went viral instantly, and it's easy to see why as it reaches up as high as it can to reach its target, at which point the fruit is seen falling to the ground and the mighty tusker is then seen breaking it with his legs and eating it. According to the officer who shared the post, elephants have the ability to smell ripening fruit from a good distance and then they can follow the smell to reach the fruit. The forest official also mentioned that jumbos and this tusker also love jackfruits a lot.
