I'm not even kidding.

Amazing, but sadly it's probably been trained to the brink of madness to do that.

I can't do that with my apendage ...









but it doesn't fit in a toilet roll

He's such a hack.

"He doesn't actually talk"

He's not that good. He got his ear all wrong.

When we were in Phuket we saw an amazing monkey sanctuary doing brilliant work, then just down the road the decrepit zoo was doing shows with elephants painting and playing football, monkeys riding bicycles in skirts, and you could have your picture taken next to a drugged up tiger chained to a fence.

I've seen this before, awesome!

I'm sayin'! And he's all like, "Check this out! Pretty frickin' mind-blowin', eh?!"

He'd probably do alright for himself as one of those I'll-sketch-your-portrait guys in a tourist area, but his "serious" work is quite obviously jejune.

my friend told me about this over the weekend but I thought he was talkin about a cartoon of an elephant painting itself so to see this is a surprise. I am truely amazed and I wonder if his other elephant buddies have the same talent.

cool

OMG CRYING! That is absolutely astounding. The Elephant is my most favorite animal! And to think of how savagely they are treated in Africa all because of ignorance and greed I know elephants are very smart but this really implies knowledge of itself doesn't it? Wow!

cute

It implies being trained to the point of having it's spirit broken to me. This is not an animal expressing itself...have you seen how they break elephants so that they will be mindless slaves? It's beyond cruel.

Ugh. I feel ill now.

JustErin said:

That's why I never go to circuses.

I don't think people know just how smart elephants are yet.

It hurts me to see the more intelligent creatures like them or chimps in zoos or circuses.

JustErin said:

I have seen elephants mistreated yes, and I would not know whether or not to assign brutality to the establishment this elephant lives at to say yay or nay. I wasn't sure if it was trained or not but still it is amazing.

Spookymuffin said:

Can someone explain exactly how you train an elephant to draw itself?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Paintbrush, paper, guided movements, treats and beatings.

Spookymuffin said:

I'm not disupting this but damn. I sure as hell was hoping this elephant was ready to take over the world

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Oh, this elephant was.

In other videos it debates Foreign Policy with Khofi Annan in a top hat over a glass of sherry.
