I love animals. I love elephants.
Here is some more info. that some may also find intriguing:

Elephants are also self-aware:

Elephants are also emotional, and even cry:

And it is the same for many other animals. Animals are beautiful and amazing creatures, and it would be beneficial to start thinking of them more that way. We aren't so different.

And I bet you that that elephant could have done even better if he/she had an anatomy (hands) more conducive to painting!

Awesome video, Kyle! Thanks!

I can't help but wonder what conditions that elephant is living in...

But, I agree the paintings are amazing.
