Is it true that elephants get drunk eating the fruits of a marula tree?

There is a popular belief that elephants get drunk from eating the fermented fruits of the Marula Tree. However, this claim is largely a myth. While it is true that Marula fruits can ferment and produce alcohol when they fall to the ground and are exposed to yeast, it is unlikely that elephants would eat enough fermented fruit to become intoxicated. In fact, elephants have a very efficient liver that can metabolize alcohol quickly, and it is unlikely that they would experience any significant effects from consuming small amounts of fermented fruit. Additionally, elephants primarily feed on the ripe, unfermented fruit that falls from the tree, rather than the fermented fruit on the ground. So while it is a popular myth that elephants get drunk on Marula fruits, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
