Memory like an Elephant is true, they never forget—especially being burned by chili peppers.
Tanzanian farmers who are victims of rebounding Elephant populations invading their land and eating all the crops are thankful for that spicy fact.
According to Newser these giant Pachyderms are voracious eaters, consuming up to 660 pounds of food every day.
The dangers and prohibitive expense of electric fences warrant them useless, luckily an effective low-tech solution was found by the farmers: engine oil and chili peppers make up a brew that adheres to fences despite heavy rains.
