Herd of drunken elephants wreck buildings in search for more drink
A herd of wild elephants have gone on a drunken rampage after downing more than 500 litres of alcohol.
Around 50 of the beasts consumed more than 18 containers of mahua, a powerful alcoholic beverage, before demolishing several houses, a shop and crops in Dumurkota, east India, as they looked for more alcohol to drink.
Police spokesman Asish Samanat said: "Unfortunately these animals live in close proximity to man and they recognised the smell of the drink.
"They were like any other drunk - aggressive and unreasonable but much, much bigger."
