'Elephant Painting an Elephant'

Posted by Anup Baral September 15, 2014 :


A Facebook post that’s gone viral shows an elephant in Thailand named Suda painting a picture of an elephant. The above video captures the real phenomenon of elephants who perform the physical process of creating drawings by holding brushes in their trunks and applying them to cards mounted on easels. A BBC News article described an exhibition of such paintings at an Edinburgh gallery in 1996.It was captured at the Maetaeng Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. However, it is worth noting that the elephant is trained to paint that picture and it didn’t just spontaneously do it.
