Elephants painting elephants →[More:]Not the usual animal "abstracts" that I've seen before, these are actual drawings.

That was really interesting. I wish we could've seen the elephant paint the whole picture, just to be sure, but I thought it was neat.

I thought the same thing when I was watching it. After watching the Nova "Ape Genius" episode from a few weeks ago, I'm a bit more willing to believe this kind of stuff.

Is that for real? I wish they had shown a wider shot of the elephant painting. They were all so close up that I couldn't be sure that she wasn't getting a little help from a human next to her.

If that's real, it's pretty freaking wicked. If it's not, there were some other cool links that the site thought I might like as well, such as "Elephants like to eat poo"

That made me chuckle, I must admit. Though I will also admit I didn't click on the link!
