Elephant learns to peel banana after watching humans
Pang Pha, an Asian elephant at the Berlin Zoo, is a picky eater, but it seems she’s an incredibly intelligent one too. While most elephants eat bananas whole, skin included, Pang Pha has more refined tastes, so she studied the zookeepers until she was able to remove a banana peel on her own. She squeezes the top of the banana to break the skin, before squeezing the fruit out and eating it. This is an incredibly rare behavior in elephants, and scientists are keen to learn more about Pang Pha’s thinking.
Now if only she could open a bag of airline peanuts without spilling them everywhere, we’d be really impressed.

Cool.
This is incredible.
Not that the Elephant can peel a banana - but the dexterity of the trunk...
And the elephant has figured out how to do it.
I figure that most elephants would simply eat the bunch of bananas, because eating is energy intake and they have neither then time, nor the luxuary of fucking around eating one peeled banana at a time, by the dozens or the hundreds.....
