Have you seen this before?  I hadn't, until my friend told me to watch it, and be amazed. 

I did, and I was!

It is my understanding that it is therapy for abused elephants.  All I can say is "Holy Cow"! Cheers

I actually read about this in the paper (Metro) on tuesday, and was thinking: Wow! Elephants doing human stuff is so much more impressive than monkies.

i found a gallery of elephant paintings, and most of them were just random lines...definitely not as cool as this one.
but its a neat idea, and still as good as most of the modern "art" that seems to be in galleries these days.

Yes Farmboy, I agree.  That is what stands out most to me.  The depth of what the elephant was doing really struck me!

The careful way that (he/she) approached the canvas.  It was obviously in control!

First of all, I don't even know what this is. If it's supposed to be an elephant, then it's the sh*ttiest elephant I've ever seen.F

Sorry for the old reference.  smiley

Edit: Probably NSFW.
