As one of the most gigantic animals in the world, one Asian elephant requires at least 300 kilograms of food intake daily. Wandering in the forests of southwest China's Yunnan Province, these giants sometimes break into the farmers' corn fields and begin their buffet, free of charge. After all, no one is going to reject the juicy corn after a long journey. For the farmers, however, these visitors are surely problems as they ruin the fields. Fortunately, under the government's guidance, these fields have become the "legit" elephant dining hall, and all the bills are going to be on the government as a protection measure. If you want to learn more about these creatures, watch the full documentary: Asian Elephant Sanctuary Ep. 6: How big is the elephant dining hall?
