However, here we bring a heart-warming video that shows a Tusker taking a ‘jackfruit break’ during carnival. 

As seen in the video, the decorated Tusker is walking down a street with three persons perched on it. Two other people are seen walking on both sides of the elephant guiding the giant being on its route. As it seems, the elephant along with others is crossing a marketplace as there are several makeshift shops and the place is crowded. 

However, suddenly it turns towards its right and stretches out its trunk. As the camera pans, the Tusker is seen stretching its trunk to reach the jackfruits hanging on a huge tree. 

It instantly plucks two jackfruits and starts walking on its route while putting the jackfruits inside its mouth. 

You can’t keep an elephant away from Jackfruit 😊😊
