Fifty wild elephants went on a
drunken rampage after downing 18 containers of mahua, a powerful alcoholic
brew, in India.
The trunk and disorderly
mammals ransacked a shop, three houses and ruined crops in the eastern village
of Dumurkota, India.
Police say the gang of over-the-limit
tuskers downed more than 500 litres of moonshine alcohol, managing to
drink the place dry in a matter of minutes.
The unruly mob demolished
dozens of houses in their desperate hunt for more booze after hoovering up the
hard stuff in record time.
Local police officer Asish
Samanat said the drunken elephants were more 'aggressive' than usual after
their mammoth drinking session.
'Unfortunately these animals
live in close proximity to man and they recognised the smell of the drink,' he
explained.
'They were like any other
drunk - aggressive and unreasonable but much, much bigger.'
Police and villagers
eventually restored order by herding the elephants over a local river back to
their normal migration route.
Officer Samanat added:
'They'll have one heck of a hangover.'
Last month an elephant at a
zoo in Vienna become an overnight celebrity after he was recorded imitating human speech.
