Outstanding! Thanks for posting. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Funny footage, but staged. All of the animals were tranquelized. No way can eating marulas give that sort of high. | |||

Good video. I could not understand what was being said. Was this fruit from the amarula tree? H Kittle | |||

I received a similar video a few years ago, but in English. If someone can post it on YouTube, I'll email it to you. Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | |||

H, your thinking of the liqueur, Amarula, and it is made from the Marula fruit (good stuff). Marula is the fruit. Once it ferments, small animals such as Vervet Monkey's get high as a kite on it. You'll see their faces stained with the fruit.

That amarula is nasty stuff. African version of Bailey's Irish Cream. I remember one SAA flight over where they had all the free mini bottles you wanted of it. Tastes like melted ice cream. | |||

I love Amarula - luckily I can now get it here in Florida - wife thinks it is too sweet, which is odd because she normally likes very sweet things. I love it over ice. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Grouse get drunk on fermented grapes. I've certainly heard of drunk elephants from eating something fermented, but I forget what it was.

Brett, it is false that elephant get drunk on marula fruit. They will get very aggressively protective of fruit laden marula trees but they would have to eat way too many fermented fruits and their digestive system is such that the fruits would pass through too rapidly for them to get pissed. Elephant in the Matusadona would not let anything approach "their" trees when in fruit. Cheers. | |||

I take it this must be the scene from " Beautiful People" Jamie Uys documentary on the sahara. If yes then they animals are tranquilized, take a look at the way the baboon fall in front of the camera, that poor bastard got thrown into shot. Anyway, it was good for a laugh. Interesting fact, a few scientists got their heads together to work out how many marulas the elephant would have to eat to get pissed. They came up with the answer at around 2 tons of the fruit if my memory serves me right. | |||

The marula's werent working so they soaked corn seed in alchol over night. The effects were so fast that they had very little time to film as you can see the animals on the clip staggered and then went to sleep fairly quickly. | |||

Second what the others say, animals cannot get 'drunk' eating marulas, its pure nonsense and tall tales. However baboons do get 'high' from eating Euphorbia coerulescens or 'soet noors' but this is because of the euphorbon poisons, not a fermenting effect. | |||

amarula mixed with brandy is great stuff but it will sneak up on you. Last time I had it I woke up next morning wrapped in an elk hide with two small dogs for company. kh | |||

Actually, the name of the movie is "Animals are Beautiful People" made by the same guy and in the same style as "The Gods Must be Crazy." It is a semi-documentary film about the animals in the Kalahari Desert. It is an entertaining film to watch. Dave One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | |||

That was hilarious - especially the elephant hunched forward still going after the fruit. For all of you guys who want Amarula while back home, your local BevMo has it. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||
