Watch how an elephant has learned how to peel a BANANA after observing zookeepers eating the fruit
Delicious, rich in potassium and come with their own, biodegradable packaging; bananas are truly one of the ultimate snacks. And it's not just humans who think so, as the fruit is a popular delicacy with much of the animal kingdom, including gorillas, bats and elephants. Most of the time, elephants will scoop up bananas with their trunk and put the whole thing into their mouths. However, one particularly picky Asian elephant at Berlin Zoo appears to not enjoy eating the fruit's tough skin, as she has learnt how to peel it off. Incredible footage reveals how Pang Pha squeezes the banana to break off its top, shakes out its contents, discards the peel, picks up the soft pulp and pops it into her mouth.
