神奇的一幕 大象竟然被拍到吞云吐雾!

Incredible footage of an elephant picking up ash with its trunk and breathing smoke has been captured, stunning onlookers and experts.

一段令人难以置信的录像显示，一头大象用它的鼻子卷起灰烬，呼吸浓烟，这让旁观者和专家都感到震惊。

The video, taken by Vinay Kumar, Assistant Director with the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS)-India Program, stumped the organization's scientists as to why the elephant is showing off the unusual behavior.

这段视频是由野生动物保护协会印度项目组的助理导演维奈·库马尔拍摄的。该组织的科学家们对视频中大象展示出的这种不寻常行为的原因感到困惑。

Dr. Varun Goswami, a scientist at WCS India and an elephant biologist, attempted to explain the elephant's actions.

野生动物保护协会印度组的科学家、大象生物学家瓦伦·戈斯瓦米博士试图解释大象的这一行为。

"I believe the elephant may have been trying to ingest wood charcoal," said Goswami in a press release.

戈斯瓦米在一场资讯发布会上称：“我相信这只大象可能一直在试图摄取木炭。”

"She appeared to be picking up pieces from the forest floor, blowing away the ash that came along with it and consuming the rest," Goswami added.

戈斯瓦米补充道：“它似乎正在从森林的地面上拾起东西，把随之而来的灰烬吹走，然后消耗掉剩下的。”

It's possible the elephant may have been using the charcoal for health-related issues, as it has toxin-binding properties that can provide medicinal value. It can also be a laxative, making it doubly effective.

这只大象可能一直在使用木炭来治疗健康相关的问题，因为木炭具有吸附毒素的特性，具有药用价值。它也可以是一种泻药，让效果加倍。
