Amazing video, an Elephant artist.

And how do you know this? Why are the bystanders so impressed if this is the case?

There are a few of these videos on YouTube. In some of them you can actually SEE the handler. He is not blocked out by the camera angle and you can see him guiding the trunk to make the painting.

I thought it was amazing until I saw that and realized that it was just a trick. That is why you hardly ever see the handler or the elephant's head in the videos.

Go on YouTube and do a search for it and look through them, you'll see what I am talking about.

It is a beautiful notion, that elephants could have the awareness for art, but this is just a street trick.

Perhaps you're right. I'll investigate. Thank you!

Tirzah, chack this one out:

awesome. Pin

Cute :)

Nonsense.

If you watch the video you'll see the camera pull away so that a large part of the elephant's trunk is showing while the elephant is painting. There is no one guiding the trunk.
