I ran across the following story that I found amucing:

I had to laugh. I'm sorry; I know it's a tragedy that the elephants trampled those poor people to death, but the thought of the pachyderms boozing it up just strikes me as hilarious. Elephants that get tanked and go on a rampage like some kind of jungle-dwelling motorcycle gang...

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Soon they'll be testing elephants to see if they can walk along a straight line or something.

A couple of days ago in my biology class, I read about how animals that eat a lot of fruit can get drunk when the fruit ferments in their bodies. Then, it showed several clips of drunk animals.

Not only did they get drunk, they go looking for liquor making them alcoholics, and then get hostile, making them mean drunks.

A herd of wild elephants driven berserk by country liquor trampled to death six people

Obviously there are no "I love you" drunks in the animal kingdom......

Reminds me of the railways out west, they've put tarps over the top's of grain cars after several dozens animals were killed.

Post mortems showed they were all drunk.

Turns out the grain that blew off fermented, and drew the animals there who ate and got drunk, then passed out on the tracks.
