Animals are smarter than we think and here's more proof. A video shared by Indian Forest Service's Susanta Nanda showed an elephant crossing an electric fence like a boss.
Taking to Twitter, Nanda wrote, "Elephants will go where they want. Solar electric fencing maintained at 5kv was designed to deter them. It’s intelligence makes them cleaver to breach that barrier. Interesting." Take a look at the video here:

In the video, the elephant avoids the electric wires by pushing the wooden pole and walking over it. It's strange how an elephant, which has had no scientific education, can be clever enough to pull off something like this.
Netizens too couldn't conceal their pleasure after watching the video. Let's take a look at some of the reactions:
Loved this ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0091u00c2u008fðu00c2u009fu00c2u0092ª. Let them break all ugly barricades (sign of supremacy) on their path. They usually stay in its course & rarely breaches into strange place that too only because of shortage of vegetation to feed. Instead of spending for fences why not link & clear their paths.

This so incredible and heartwarming. I got goosebumps witnessing the intelligence and sensitivity of this humble giant. :) :)
