Who needs fancy props or CGI to make the next Tremors film? Some carefully placed treats & you've got all the action you need at a fraction of the price & time.
While elephants are incredibly playful (ran elephant rescue) they ARE still massive wild animals that generally know their strength, but you should never take one for granted either..
Interestingly, elephants don’t use suction to pull on large objects like the melon and cabbage in the video.
What you are seeing on those items is the grip strength of its prehensile nose tips, which are called “fingers”. Elephants can pinch lift 60+ lbs. with their “fingers” with ease!
Besides for drawing water (at 330 mph) an elephant uses suction to lift delicate objects such as tortilla chips w/o breaking them.

Good thing you didn’t do a watermelon or you might have been trampled down the road.

That’s not an elephant, that’s just Willem Dafoe.

Pro tip: Never tease the elephant. You can thank me later. Because you’ll still be alive.

OK, so no ghost pepper pranks at the zoo. Gotcha.

Is the elephant collecting the items or eating them that fast?
ZackWester
something tells me the video is cut so that it looks like its easting them in 0.5 sec (its a 1-2 sec cut I would guess)
DustInComp
It's a shaky handheld camera. Any cut would be noticable. That elephant's definitely making a snack pile
imnotinthewitnessprotectionprogram
TIL elephants use their trunks to suction cup items in order to grab them
trigonman3
They can also suction up water with their trunks, then spray it out.

And use it as a snorkel to dive.
DdCno1
And to masturbate (yes, really).

…Yeah that sounds likely. 😂

330 mph...? Is that accurate?
SqueakShow
Yup! 530km per hour.

Jesus...! That technically makes them the fastest land mammal!

TIL that elephants are the fastest land mammal. Eat it cheetah.
