Elephant found Breathing Smoke in a Mysterious Way

Some people shot a video in India which shows an elephant pulling large clouds of smoke and this video has left scientist fully stumped.

Video was captured by field staff for Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) India Program. Video shows an elephant picking up something with its mouth and then releasing cloud of smoke. Video was shot at Nagarahole National Park in India.

Scientist are not yet sure that anything was actually smoldering in the video, though. There are chances that elephant was trying to blow ash off something he was trying to eat. According to WCS India scientist elephant was trying to eat wood charcoal. Actually elephant was picking pieces from the forest floor and blowing away the ash that came along with it.

Scientist are trying to explain the phenomena but they are still not sure about what was happening. Let us just pretend that elephant was on its smoke break.
