ORIGINAL Elephant Painting

ExoticWorldGifts asked:


Can your elephant paint? Watch this elephant, rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint a beautiful image of an elephant. You’ll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, “Starving Elephant Artisans” by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand.

Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all of the elephants be free to be in the wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.

    well…the guy is holding the horn near the mouth and guides it… in the other videos we can see it. It´s true that elephants paint but just lines across the canvas, not recognizable forms.

    Unbelievable, Incredible, Spectacular, etc..

    This is just utterly incredible. Such a display clearly suggests that elephants possess a high level of creativity and self awareness not easily observed in “higher” mammalian species. I just hope that this wasn’t something that elephant was trained to rehearse because otherwise it would just diminish everything I just said about them. But still way impressive either way!

    Of course elephants can be trained… to stand on blocks, to parade around a circus tent. This is more than that.

  19. andbruno on February 10th, 2009 20:41

    No, it proves that elephants can be trained.
