Don't Tell Me Your Dog Is Smart, Can Your Dog Do This?

This is great! I wonder if this elephant realizes that it is drawing its own species. I also wonder how long they taught the elephant before it memorized the strokes. It would be great if the elephant could draw other things. There is another easel, I wonder if the other elephants can paint too. Elephants are really intelligent and they are capable of doing things such as this. I just hope he wasn't hurt in any way when he made mistakes. Sometimes people hurt animals when they teach them (like the punishment and reward system that circuses usually have). I personally believe that elephants should be taken care of really well. Many elephants live in bad conditions in zoos.
