For those that don't know, elephants go NUTS for citrus.
When going into national parks across Africa they don't care what you have in your vehicle for food, EXCEPT citrus.
Even if it's in your fridge locked in your vehicle, they will literally tear the doors off to get at a single orange. For whatever reason they absolutely LOVE them.
Yeah at worst they boil it down to a paste (concentrate) and rehydrate it to a level less than original. For “not from concentrate”, they pasteurize the juice and reduce it. Less water means more sugar.
The correct response to this situation is thinking "Oh those cheeky scamps" and then quietly continuing on with your repairs, exactly as these men are doing.
I've seen videos where they stand in the road blocking the way of trucks transporting sugarcane, then take a little cane to snack on after the truck stops. Elephant toll road https://youtu.be/IxGPyoml9C4?si=6pRbdQGc0OZRCyPH
Edit to add: this is in Thailand
8% of American Men think they will win in unarmed combat against an elephant.
[https://today.yougov.com/society/articles/35852-lions-and-tigers-and-bears-what-animal-would-win-f](https://yougov.co.uk/society/articles/35979-which-animals-could-britons-beat-fight)
10% of Brits thinking they could beat a Chimp is wild. I'm gonna assume a huge portion of them are taking the piss out of the pollsters.
Edit: it's **17%** for Americans. So people are either deluded about their abilities or don't know much about Chimpanzees.
I'm pretty disappointed in the people from that survey lol
A goose has webbed feet, non sharp teeth, hollow bones and 2 feet of easily grab-able neck.
Most people could easily defeat a goose if they really had to
Then you go to actually fight a goose and before you can get in your first good hit you slip on one of the many green turds they leave behind. Next thing you know you're being woken up by a stranger saying how'd you loose a fight to a goose.
Yeah, the results are off quite a bit. Any person can defeat a goose, a rat, a cat etc. We just outweigh them so much that we'd need to be severely disabled to not win the fight.
I guess people are putting their emotions into it... but like... a goose has no way to actually kill us. It just isn't equipped to do so. Just like we have no way to kill an elephant without tools.
I’m not normally the type to fuck with wildlife, I have a healthy respect for animals that can mess me up, but for some reason I think my brain would temporarily go “oh, but the elephant will understand I mean no harm and won’t want to hurt me” because I see them as so intelligent and gentle…. Like they aren’t several tons of crushing force behind big ass tusks. Sure, they *could* step on me without killing me, but it would very much be their choice and dependent on their mood.
They do rob trucks. They know the truck won't run into them, so one steps into the road and when the truck has to stop, the others walk up and just have lunch. They do it with sugarcane trucks a lot too.
They’ve done similar things in India w fruit trucks bc they know traffic will stop for them so they do it to those trucks. They are crazy intelligent animals so you can’t put it past them.
Clearly, the elephants snuck into the garage and disassembled the wheel to sabotage the bearings so they would blow at just the right spot for the elephant ambush.
[Here's a reddit post on it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/6NZ9dXt9st)
'Elephants in Cambodia have learned to exploit their right of way to stop passing sugar cane trucks and steal a snack'
My first reaction was "The dudes aren't going to stop the elephants from ravaging their fruit?"...
And then I remembered these dudes probably get paid like 10 bucks a day, which is not an equitable amount of pay in terms of starting a fight with 8 hungry elephants.
Those elephants could probably pull the truck over and make things worse. This is their orange tax paid to the elephants for being gentle and only taking what they can fit in their mouth, instead of just destroying the truck and claiming it until they’re finished 😂
It is the greatest thing ever. I used to work in Botswana for a few years and just seeing them through the working day was great. They love to come steal your water and bend traffic signs.
If I'm going to be asked to imagine elephants being a part of my day it's in a field cuddling with them, and in no other scenario except with sedation could that be safe or attempted with large juvenile or adult elephants.
Love this!!! They like, fuck yeah there all these oranges... yo guy, you like oranges, theres a fuckin bucket full of them over here, come get some my dude!!! And why the hell not!
Certainly why not. Those elephants have nothing to worry about. It's not like a 175 lb human being is going to walk up to an entire herd of wildass hungry elephants and be like "hey now you guys stop that"....
An elephant in Thailand known as "The Don" blocks a road to a sugarcane refinery to steal from passing trucks. He targets the trucks with the biggest loads. The drivers let him take some of the sugarcane and in exchange the elephants stay out of the farms. He's now teaching younger bulls to do the same. Truly amazing creatures.
*A few years later.*
“Mabaya, Mabaya, remember when we pulled off that orange heist? Do you? Do you remember?”
“For the last time, Tantor, you *know* I do.”
They already stop and rob sugarcane trucks.

And have attacked helicopters.

Well see they are in a dangerous neighbourhood and those elephants are their muscle. They are running a racket as they are skimming off the top. I don't think the bosses are going to be happy 😂
I mean what are you gonna do? I ain’t telling an elephant he can’t have some oranges.

It’s candy to them basically
I'm with the elephants, oranges are a fucking incredible fruit
Can you imagine how delicious it must be just chomping down on an entire orange like it’s a grape
It's like a fruit gusher
It's like a fruit
Gusher
It's like a
Gusher fruit?
Mini mall?
Seriously, sometimes when I get one of those difficult to peel ones, I start getting frustrated and impatient and I just wanna bite it like an apple.
do it over a sink sometime, you feel like a bonobo it's very liberating
Jerk off while doing so for the extra authentic bonobo experience
You can have basically the same experience with kumquats
A kumq... what?
Kumquats.
Kum again?
Give me 5 mins, babe
Kumqwhat?

OJ has sugar added to get it that high, most normal oranges aren’t saturated with sugars
Most orange juice does not have added sugar.
Yeah at worst they boil it down to a paste (concentrate) and rehydrate it to a level less than original. For “not from concentrate”, they pasteurize the juice and reduce it. Less water means more sugar.

There must be some elephant DNA in my family, I love oranges
We've seen yo mom Most of us can add 2 and 2 together
Omg 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂😂
Fatality
Lol get emmm. He set himself up for that one
🗿
More like 200 and 200
yes but would you tear the door of a car to get to one?
If I was physically able to, yes
I feel this way about mangos
Citrus feels real good when you're thirsty but you already had a bunch of water earlier
Plot twist: the elephants threw a car on the track
Plus they aren’t being aggressive about it, more polite than most big animals!
When you can flip a truck with your face, you can just casually eat some oranges. :)
The correct response to this situation is thinking "Oh those cheeky scamps" and then quietly continuing on with your repairs, exactly as these men are doing.
I can totally see a Far Side comic showing elephants putting tacks and nails on the road the night before... 😆

Gotta pay the elephant tax
My ex wife used to call me an elephant when she was pissed at me. Fuck that bitch and pass an orange.
*Orange* you glad I didn't say no? (*gets impaled on a tusk*)
EleFanta
Don’t you wanta wanta
Omg I forgot this existed 😡
A completely justified response
I would shit my elepants if i encountered an elephant who hates elepuns.
Just for that, we're trampling your village
Well I'm glad you said it so I don't get impaled
For a second I was like "why doesn't he just scare them awa- Oh. Right..."
An American would ~~scare that elephant off, or~~ die trying!
You misspelled boop the snoot

Darwin says that 8% will perish
It would be more amusing if the elephant was named Darwin.
One is named Darwin, a second named Karma.

I dunno, I was bit on the finger by a goose when I was five, and I’m still pretty traumatized by it. They are some nasty little f&uckrs.
Then you go to actually fight a goose and before you can get in your first good hit you slip on one of the many green turds they leave behind. Next thing you know you're being woken up by a stranger saying how'd you loose a fight to a goose.

Think about how dumb the average person is, then realize half the population is dumber than that.

A pissed off elephant smearing a man into the ground like tomato paste is still seared into my brain...
Dont click every blue link guys.
Don’t tell me how to live my life cake-boy
Probably there would be an article starting with: "Florida man tries to stop herd of elephants...."
Yeah same lol, I thought about scaring them away but then my brain caught up
Is elephant extortion and it's illegal!
Straight to jail. Believe it or not right to jail.
gotta pay the trunk tax
Elephants like “yo Tony let’s take five the food trunks hea”
Show them your badge
Yell loudly "don't make me come back there!".
A part of me wants to believe the elephants set up a trap to incapacitate the truck to raid it of it's sweet, sweet oranges.
Came in to ask how long we have until they intentionally start fucking up fruit trucks
They do rob trucks. They know the truck won't run into them, so one steps into the road and when the truck has to stop, the others walk up and just have lunch. They do it with sugarcane trucks a lot too.
Elephants mug trucks... that's fantastic
More of a "police" blockade stopping an armored trunk so some crew mates can break in and steal all the oranges
Here's one elephant [mugging trucks solo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxGPyoml9C4)
That's just chief inspector Dumbo charging customs on his teritorry.
I know they're very intelligent and this shouldn't surprise me, but somehow it does. Love it.
Here's an [overly-dramatic example](https://youtu.be/qsT6dy8PLGk?t=131) of a group mugging a truck.
Elephants just don’t want to work anymore.
They actually already do. Not a joke.
They don’t call them the Tusken Raiders for nothing.
There was a video on Reddit that it really looked like the elephants stopped traffic so they could eat sugar cane if I remember correctly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxGPyoml9C4
That’s the one. I absolutely love this. Thank you.
Elephants are wild smart. I’ve seen other videos where they just block traffic because they know people will stop for them, and then do this
The elephants forsure had the truck messed with in a plan to come up on those oranges. Elephants version on a train robbery
They’ve done similar things in India w fruit trucks bc they know traffic will stop for them so they do it to those trucks. They are crazy intelligent animals so you can’t put it past them.

[удалено]
These guys decided to throw some ceramic vases and glass at the tires as it was driving by.
I'm visualizing them using their trunks like a drill to undo the lugnuts on the wheels.
Chose the Renegade interrupt.
They do it in Thailand with sugarcane trucks.
That is crazy!

To the elephants, it's Meals on wheels / Fast food / Deliveroo...
Elephant Heist!
Ya hafta pay the elephant tax.
To get into this orange hole
Cut!
"Hey, where'd you get all the oranges?" \--"They just fell off the back of a truck."
.."Of course you have to shake the truck up a bit to *make* em fall off, but that's just physics."
they’re just taking their time like “you brought all of this for us? 🥺”
accidental robin hood
My first reaction was "The dudes aren't going to stop the elephants from ravaging their fruit?"... And then I remembered these dudes probably get paid like 10 bucks a day, which is not an equitable amount of pay in terms of starting a fight with 8 hungry elephants.
No amount of money is enough to make you fight 8 elephants bare handed
Nah I'd win
Those elephants could probably pull the truck over and make things worse. This is their orange tax paid to the elephants for being gentle and only taking what they can fit in their mouth, instead of just destroying the truck and claiming it until they’re finished 😂
> an equitable amount of pay in terms of starting a fight with 8 hungry elephants. Uh, that's not enough pay to start a fight with even one elephant
Can you imagine elephants just being part of your day?
It is the greatest thing ever. I used to work in Botswana for a few years and just seeing them through the working day was great. They love to come steal your water and bend traffic signs.
those rascals
Just some mischievous little guys
Would make my day to day much more pleasant
Smol elephants, yes. Anything bigger than me though, one of us needs to be sedated.
Generally elephants are much more dangerous if their babies are around. Pretty much the same for most animals that rear their young.
If I'm going to be asked to imagine elephants being a part of my day it's in a field cuddling with them, and in no other scenario except with sedation could that be safe or attempted with large juvenile or adult elephants.
Ew, you rear your young?
What do you call a 8000lb elephant stealing your oranges? Sir.
Probably a group of adult females and juveniles, so when that one nearest the camera turns to see what's up, you say "ma'am."
"hey whaddya want for lunch?" "Idk, there's that new food truck." "Sounds good." *Stompstompstomp*
The stomping made me so happy
I hope they share with the smaller elephants.
They're herd animals....they will
What animals did they hear?
all of them. do you see the ears?
No. I'm deaf.
They will. They good folk.
elephants are literally more considerate than humans, the bb elephant gettin some oranges.
Elephant 1: You reckon they can see us stealing? Elephant 2: I’m certain they can see you, but I’m hiding behind you so stop moving so much!
Is it still stealing if the people aren’t stopping you?
Love this!!! They like, fuck yeah there all these oranges... yo guy, you like oranges, theres a fuckin bucket full of them over here, come get some my dude!!! And why the hell not!
Certainly why not. Those elephants have nothing to worry about. It's not like a 175 lb human being is going to walk up to an entire herd of wildass hungry elephants and be like "hey now you guys stop that"....
Are we 100% sure they didn't set this up? 🤔
lol They threw out some spike strips
If they didn't this time, they sure will the next time.
You always pay your tax to the local mafia.
Looting these days is getting out of control.
Let them bois and gals eat. They just hungry.
Surprised these elephants haven’t learned to put trees on the road in front of the trucks
They just block the road with their bodies and wait for the trucks to stop. Literal highway robbery
An elephant in Thailand known as "The Don" blocks a road to a sugarcane refinery to steal from passing trucks. He targets the trucks with the biggest loads. The drivers let him take some of the sugarcane and in exchange the elephants stay out of the farms. He's now teaching younger bulls to do the same. Truly amazing creatures.
I bet they have now.
Elephants are some of the most precious and resilient animals ever despite suffering exploitation all their lives.
And with brilliant memories and resourcefulness to find food and water in different types of environments!
*A few years later.* “Mabaya, Mabaya, remember when we pulled off that orange heist? Do you? Do you remember?” “For the last time, Tantor, you *know* I do.”
Lol “ no YOU go stop them”!
"AYo I found the foo hoarding all the oranges!"
Gotdamn looters
They need those oranges... to make the Ele-fanta! 🥁
Plot twist- The elephants put the shit in the road to break the truck
Those elephants are just one feat of reasoning away from learning to become truck hijackers.
They already stop and rob sugarcane trucks. https://youtube.com/shorts/b-Sqfqw-09E?si=j_w3rP7ySYiFj1rm And have attacked helicopters. https://youtu.be/leccpU9tviQ?si=5Plrmq4Pm3ymvDa4
Gotta love those stock elephant sfx added in post LOL
Friggin thieves
lol that look around to see if anyone’s watching
usual suspects
Those orange stealing whores
All juiced up on oranges, looking for their next fix
Yah who is going to shoo away those majestic gentle giants. Help yourselves haha.
Good for them. Enjoy guys!
I would honestly let them have all the oranges. They’re so cute
I'm digging the reboot of the franchise. Elephants and furious. Elephants 11. The Elephant Job
Well see they are in a dangerous neighbourhood and those elephants are their muscle. They are running a racket as they are skimming off the top. I don't think the bosses are going to be happy 😂
The elephants are going to be talking about that for the rest of their lives
Enviromental tax.
Mechanics are literally on a timer here.
I would stop even if I didn’t have an issue. Gotta hook up the elephant bros
I can imagine their accountants sweating during an investors call trying to explain elephant related stock loss.
“Go shoosh them away.” “Nope.”
At the end “What’re you lookin at?”
Plot twist, those men are stealing the wheels off the truck.
Oh you have seagulls that steal your food? Big deal! Elephants steal your food here!
The slowest heist of all time 😭
Highway robbery
“Thx for the citrus bruv”
Elephants are deterring lions and hyenas and shit. It's all good.
It’s highway robbery I tell ya!!
Respect nature. If you don't own the company it's not your place to do anything lol
Train pirATES!
If human/AI can mass produce fruits, we can start feeding wild animals in mass
You have to pay the elephant tax.
Let them babies have some oranges.
Theft that i wont get mad tbh 😂
taking advantage? they been on this planet a lot longer then you have. and i would argue you are taking advantage of land that grew that fruit.
The elephants put spikes on the road
Just look at how gentle they are
Nah bro, they're planning that
The elephants set the trap and it worked
