Can your elephant paint? Watch this elephant, rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint an amazing self portrait. You'll be amazed at how his talent unfolds.
So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, Exotic World Gifts now supports, "Starving Elephant Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand.H/T to Panda for the video.

I'd buy it if I could see the whole elephant, not just the trunk - elephants are real smart. I wonder if it was either painting over a faint outline, or was taught to do this by rote.
In any case, hooray for the elephant getting rescued from abuse.
Have you ever seen the book Why Cat's Paint? http://www.monpa.com/wcp/
I thought about the camera focusing on the truck too..But I am not quite as cynical as you are Oppie.
Mikey, I actually have that book why cats paint. I'm a sucker for artistes. lol
