The world is evolving at a pace that is faster than ever. We're coming out with new technologies, medicines, and inventions like never before. And, as it seems, the natural world is evolving too. You may think that animals can't keep up, but this video proves the opposite and will surprise you! In Thailand, it is a law to stop on the road for elephant crossings (only in Thailand, amiright?). Well, these intelligent elephants learned how to cheat the system!

They know that cars will stop for them, and they also know that trucks carry whole bushels of sugar cane from farm to factory, so they intentionally go out, stop the sugar cane trucks, and sneak themselves a little highway snack! It's genius, and totally amazing to watch these animals take advantage of something they couldn't do before. Scroll down to the end to see the video for yourself, you won't regret it!

Look at him, just waiting over there for this unsuspecting sugar cane truck to pass. We wonder how long he waits there, just to grab a free snack. Work smarter, not harder, that's what we always say, and looks like he believes in this too!

Yoink! He nabbed some! The car in the picture is blocking the way, but he has a whole trunk full of sugar cane that he successfully stole from the truck that's passing. It's only a matter of time until they barricade the street and demand ransom!
