i think its pretty cool if the elephant is really painting as opposed to just doing it from memory- like the trainer *beat it into him/her. that would be terrible.

How do we know he's painting himself? Maybe he's painting that elephant next to him. I mean shit all elephants look basically the same.

Elephants are very easy to train because they have excellent memories, so it's probably a little bit of both...Minus the beating part, hopefully. :(
Lately I've been longing to have an elephant as a pet. They are truly wonderful creatures.

Jesus, I though following my dog around the block with a poo baggie was a pain in the ass. This would be a level of commitment I for one am not prepared to take.

I think it's mainly a memory process cause later on in the video, you'll notice a painting of flowers that some guy is holding and they look very similar to the flower the elephant painted.
Also I've seen other elephants paint and all paintings almost look the same from different elephants.
Still, it's amazing.

I take it you think the moon landing was a fake too. I don't even wanna here your take on 9/11...

yeah. I call fake too. They don't show much of the elephant, only the trunk.
It's someone's arm in a rubber elephant trunk puppet!
