Elephants can seem big and scary, but several videos and pictures of them may prove otherwise. Just like this adorable video of an elephant peeling and eating a banana. However, there’s something more unique about this elephant.

Pang Pha, living in Berlin Zoo, learned how to peel a banana on her own! In a study published Cell Press, they reported that the female elephant most likely ‘learned the unusual peeling behaviour watching her caretakers peel bananas for her.’
Michael Brecht of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin’s Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience reported in the study that, “We discovered a very unique behaviour. What makes Pang Pha’s banana peeling so unique is a combination of factors — skillfulness, speed, individuality, and the putatively human origin, rather than a single behavioural element.”
Pang Pha consumes full green or yellow bananas, like other elephants. She peels and then consumes yellow bananas with brown spots. However, brown bananas are a big no for her. Phys.org even shared a video of Pang Pha peeling and eating bananas on their YouTube channel.
