Elephant Painting A Self-Portrait ??

Posted by: dijay In: Mind Boggling News

When someone from YouTube showed me this yesterday, I swore it was a fake, or at least the elephant is just repeating a pattern learned by rote, because no way can that animal represent itself so abstractly. But apparently it was on 60 Minutes? But if it’s real, why do they zoom in when it’s painting so it looks like they could have used a fake trunk? What are we supposed to do when the elephants throw off the shackles of the humans? Like half the Internet is debating this right now, so I thought you ought to know.

Do you know how to use youtube or a search engine like google?
If the video only shows one camera angle, type “elephant painting” into the search field and watch the 20+ other elephant painting videos made by others who have visited Chiang Mai in Thailand.
The elephants have learnt to paint specific images but are capable of making their own pictures as they do in the wild by making patterns on the ground.
