Elephants Make Yearly Trip Through Hotel To Eat Mangos

Depending on where you live, you may have yearly or seasonal "visitors" that drop by your home: They can be the singing birds who return to your backyard trees after leaving during the cold winter, the coyotes who prowl the nearby desert looking for water in the hot summer months, or the frogs that seem to appear out of nowhere when your city gets an abundance of rain.

These visitors often become so familiar to us that we know just what kind of treats to leave out for the small harmless ones, as well as how to protect our pets from the bigger, meaner ones like coyotes.

For my family, it isn't uncommon to spot a javelina in our yard, or a bobcat up in a tree. And while those may seem like some pretty big and intimidating creatures to people who aren't from the dessert, you have seen nothing until you check out this video from the the Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia.

The elephants you see walking through the lodge have become yearly guests that the hotel happily invites in, but they aren't checking into a room!

This elephant family, led by their matriarch "Wonky Tusk," merely use the hotel as a shortcut to get to what they are really after…some ripe delicious mangos!

After eating until their tummies are full and playing in the big yard, the elephants carefully make their way back through the hotel and out, saying goodbye until the next year when they mangos are ripe again.
