Did you know? Elephants and marula berries Apr 11 2008
Elephants are notoriously destructive feeders, breaking off branches, debarking trees and even uprooting or pushing over whole trees. But they also play an important role in the life cycle of trees, by dropping seeds of their favourite trees in their dung as they move from place to place. Birds such as hornbills eat their favourite seeds off the ground, and so the distribution process continues.
Though it is a myth that African elephants can become ‘drunk’ by eating too many marula berries, they do love to eat the fruit of the marula tree, and by eating it, digesting it and dispersing its seeds through their dung, they help to ensure this species is continually propagated.
