Real bananas don't peel themselves. People can do it. Orangutans can do it. But you try peeling *** banana with *** trunk which is why researchers went bananas over pang pa at the Berlin Zoo. And how does she do it? She snaps them. Yeah. Yeah. So she uh first of all, she does it amazingly fast. Researchers like Professor Michael Brecht were so impressed. They wrote *** paper about her. This is an elephant with paste. Don't even try handing her an overripe brown banana. Within seconds. She tosses it away and under ripe bananas. She just swallows whole, which is how most elephants consume bananas. But when you give Pang paw, the perfect brown speckled banana, she uses *** break and shake technique. It's not so easy to do. You know, it's not so easy to do. Not unless the banana is nice and ripe. Pang pa breaks it then picks up *** piece and shakes it, detaching the fleshy inside from the skin. When the inside finally falls, she picks it up and eats it when she peels *** banana. Does she eat the peel? No, but sometimes her daughter finishes the scraps. Maybe Pang pa's upbringing influenced as *** young elephant, she was hand raised by *** keeper. He fed her with peel bananas. Pa pa isn't alone, Mara at Brazil's Global sanctuary. Not only is able to peel *** banana, she hands the leftover peel back when Pang Pa is eating with *** group, she reverts to hoovering up bananas whole. So other elephants don't beat her to them yet. She tends to peel the very last one. I'm Chiquita banana. And I've come to say Pang Paul agrees with Chiquita when they flack with brown and have *** golden, you bananas taste the best and are the best for you. Jeanne Moos, CNN C C C C New York.
