I just love how elephants use their trunk. I could watch this clip all day…it’s just mesmerizing. To learn about their behavior, we captured these forest elephants elephant on infrared film eating fruit in the park’s rainforest. Forest elephants are the largest fruit-eating animals in the Central African forest ecosystem. Weighing nearly four tons, they require large amounts of food to satisfy their nutritional needs. African forest elephants have a broad diet that includes fruit, grass, other vegetation, and even bark, but research at Lopé has shown that fruit is dominant in their diet.
