Elephants like to eat Christmas trees as well. Most zoo's will take them after the Christmas season.

I wouldn't think it would be delicious or anything.

Creek Stewart on The Weather Channel taught me that we could survive off pine trees in a dire situation.

I only hope that nobody ever has to do this to survive.
