Talking Elephant, Korean

[nuclearzeon]

Now we just need to teach him English...

[GangsterLogan]

DAMNED ELEPHANTS WHY DON'T THEY LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH 

[k0s1k]

heey, its my nickname and a part of my surname! :P

[Ionlyfearphobophobia]

Ha, i heard about this on wikipedia about 2 minutes ago, so i had to see it.

Or though, it was only after the first 3 seconds i realized that... The elephant will NOT be speaking English! So im just thinking, what the hell was the point in watching this vid. lol

[awkwardized]

@Ionlyfearphobophobia So you think that because the elephant is speaking a language other than your own, it's a pointless video? Get a clue, my friend.

[Ionlyfearphobophobia]

@awkwardized Well... yeah, it is pointless, for me anyway. I mean for all i know its making just nosies.

Think about it, have you ever been to a stand up comedy in another language, and thought to yourself, even though i cant understand, this is very entertaining.

[fivealive2]

holy shit, i speak korean and this elephant's pronunciation is remarkable! its better than my non-korean friends can mimic my korean.

[derwos]

@fivealive2 Really? So what's the elephant saying?

[ricarleite]

This is POLTERGEIST! A talking animal is a POLTERGEIST! This is the voice of the DEVIL!

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

@ricarleite oh hai pat robertson

[90260]

This Video Proves that Korean People originally descended from Elephants or vice versa some of you Koreans could transform into elephants any minute now.

The evolution theory goes like this Elephants=Koreans .......or ....Koreans=Elephants if you don't believe me Test it on yourselves.

[pookermit]

Is that elephant reporting this news right now?

[technogandhi]

Ah... it's really weird to hear the elephant's voice..

[Saowift]

this is just a respond to this video from a Korean's view.

It's freaking real Korean!! i don't know whether it understands the words but the pronounciation is damn nice as a normal korean speaks!!

I thought it was the trainer's voice but they said it is the elephant's one...

so FreakyYyY!!!

[speyeker]

Watching this I feel like I'm living in a world where ghosts have been discovered to exist. This just feels like fantasy, like something people would never actually expect to happen in real life. And it's not even a sci-fi thing, like a technological innovation such as teleportation. And yet, this is real. An animal--a NON-PRIMATE animal that's not even a bird--is actually speaking with humans using human language. To call this incredible is a huge understatement.

[ryanexsus]

@speyeker Elephants are widely known to be able to mimic many sounds that they hear.

[jamesjonesrocket]

i reckon it's swallowed a bloke and he's calling for help.

[MPSecare]

Elephants are really smart.

[Phenoz]

Elephants are one of the most intelligent beings on Earth along with dolphins and apes... They even have a burial ritual and are widely known for their altruism..

[RamzyJB666]

the elephant isn't actually talking it's just mimicing the words it hears its trainer say often apparently its happened befor with other elephants trying to immitate completely different elephant species it's spent alot of time around in captivity that make completely different noices

[Tom101229]

As animals continue to interact with humans they will possess a comparable evolution and will evolve into things like us.

[Phenoz]

@Tom101229 As long as retarded hominids will not make them extinct too...

[Rockerhighman]

YES THATS RIGHT BABY

KISSES FOR ALL

kisses for all

kisses

oh baby

yes kisses for all

sugar honey baby darling

[heyitsteresa]

hoover's . . . . . . mr.kelly's hella boring

[lit0boi9]

LMFAO mr kelly's cool xD all you haters screw you guys HOOVER PRIDE!

[imaginasian415]

lol yea mr kelley ftw and hoover is crappy

[teemoph]

what is theese words? how do i know they're realism? fucking elephant....

[xsilentrainx]

too bad he doesnt speak english.

[queerion]

i already heard about this long time ago. so crazy xD

[saeheeangel123]

i've seen him before at the zoo he can really talk its amazing! :] haha i wish i can go to korea again :[ it was a good experience! :] but there were bad things too in korea >:O

[NerviouSausageBagIce]

The animal gets praise for the sound and keeps making it, but it has no idea what it's saying. In this case, an elephant is saying "gwo" (or "꿔" I think, meaning "dream"), which isn't a very hard sound to make. Not to mention is was slightly off, if that were English, an American might think it was saying "Grow" only slightly incorrect. You see?

[myroutine]

Gwo? I think that was a random noise, later on in the clip you see the elephant saying words/commands such as "good, not yet, lie down, no" with pretty good pronounciation.

[seungdeok]

it knows what its saying .. they are the commands it hears every day... good, not yet,lie down and no. and it is pronounced really clearly.... get it right

[NerviouSausageBagIce]

I hate to say this, but this is proof of animals NOT talking. All languages seem to have sounds bites of different animals talking, but all they're doing is associating a sound the animal accidently made with a word in their own language.

[JBK093]

there was actually a document about this talking elephant on "동물농장"(Animal Farm) a long time ago.

im pretty sure you haven't seen it to make that decision.

and the words he says are words that the trainer repeatedly said to the elephant to train him. not to mention the good pronounciation.

[oOKiOkOo]

FREAKY

[kibasgirl679]

ha ha

[hangukman]

lolz i watched this same exact channel on tv!!!! haha. elephants can speak korean~~~~ yay

[duskydolphinz]

OH2..I agree with you! These animals just don't get enough credit for their superior intelligence...many scientists now believe they are the most intelligent animal...above the Apes and Bottlenose dolphin. These animals are so complex...and extremely witty.

They are "The Beast which passeth all others in wit and mind." - Aristotle.

[LoveBovver]

OMG i just don't understand a thing of it

[usagirljj]

i actually went to korea and saw this elephant and it spoke in korean it was amazing ! the trunk and the squeezing of the mouth was making that smiliar sound to the trainners voice. it was amazing !

[graponchains]

this is real during october i went to korea for my cousion's wedding (since that's were i lived) and i went to an amusment park called Everland and saw the elephant... it's real...

[downwiz2]

for are you skeptics, you do not know the consequences in korea, if MBC and large TV networks aired a complete bullshit, even tho they have been feeding us with much propoganda during the early 60~70s.

[taeyeonkat]

This isn't fake, look at the top, it's an MBC news report. MBC is one of the main three stations in Korea, very reliable.

Interesting about the talking elephant o__O;; How random.

[danicaness]

elephants are like ''monsterfromid'' said are extremely intelligent.. they can even recognise themselves infront of a mirror unlike many other animals..

[OH2]

This is a first for elephants, so people are surprised. Though, I'm not too surprised over this news because animals are really smarter than we think they are. :D

[PTipProductions]

Yeah but HOW much smarter and what animal is smarter than what is the surprizing bit.

[OH2]

True...but why try to find ALL animals that can talk? O_o That's just adding more unnecessary information to science and I don't see how it can help mankind. o_O Granted that it's great to learn about other species and how they connect to evolution and everything that makes life, but.... *_*

[irondude71]

Did you just say evolution was science? ROFLMAO... I guess anyone can make up anything and call it science.

[fiendin281]

i guess you are ignoring the massive amount of scientific evidence supporting evolution or maybe you are just a stupid creationist idiot

[irondude71]

Show me even one example of proven evolution (and no micro evolution or adaption does not count) I'm talking one created giving birth to an entirely new one.... and I'll call it science.

[fiendin281]

you mean like an elephant giving birth to a rhino? you obviously do not understand what evolution is. do some research dude, and you'll see it's pretty airtight.

[irondude71]

I do understand, but you don't. Evolution says we came from monkeys.... a monkey can only give birth to a monkey, not a human, and not something in between. Get it? Macro Evolution does not exist.

[fiendin281]

i'm going to stop arguing with it. this topic is obviously too complicated for your simple mind.

[NerviouSausageBagIce]

Do you just NOT believe in black people, who's skin is darker because it can withstand the hot sun in Africa from with they originally EVOLVED?

[nickfifteen]

Wow. Macro evolution is simply micro evolution over millions of years. If you admit micro evolution exists, then what is micro evolution if it continues and never ends?

Besides, probably a good example of proven evolution is evidence recorded in humans: as the race has progressed, even within the past few millennia of recorded history, humans have had longer lifespans and have grown taller.

[NerviouSausageBagIce]

If evolution doesn't exist, than why are there tons and tons of different kinds of monkeys? We're just one of the species of monkey, and as for Adam and Eve, I'm pretty sure they only gave birth to babies of their own ethnicity, retard. Weren't they the first people ever? Even if that was true, and their kids had kids with each other, they not only would get totally retarded, they would also only continue to make children of their own ethnicity.

[racedoesnotexist]

Evolution does exist, but what you're trying to use is social Darwinism, which is a contradiction, as Darwin believed that differences between race where only superficial. African Elephants and Asian Elephants are not different "races", as a matter of fact, they're not even in the same species, not even in the same genus. Although, that is debatable (as they can mix, but have only twice). To suggest that black people are some how less evolved than whites is idiotic.

[tehlulz576]

This is my other account, I didn't say that AT ALL. I used them as an example of evolution, as in their black skin is more resistant to the sun. NOT that they AREN'T AS EVOLVED. What were you thinking, seriously? I have light skin, because my parents are from England, there is not a lot of sun in England, which is why English people are typically really pale, I wasn't saying BETTER. Don't bring in racism for an arguement, it's cheesy and cliche. Anyway, this elephant isn't speaking Korean.

[chickensonaspaceship]

No it isn't, there was an elephant in the 70's in Kazakhstan named Batyr who could talk.

[withenvy]

this is real...mbc news NEVER posts fake things!

[planet80808]

what did he say?

[NeoDement]

hahaha what

[yingelbell]

fake fake fake

[whathefa]

The North may be testing nuclear weapons, but the South has a TALKING ELEPHANT!

[eatmytofu]

haha

[Matheus15]

Ivan es un pendejo de mierda

[Kujabie]

All the idiots here claiming this is fake just go to show how arrogant human beings are. Also, a News station, Korean or American, wouldn't risk its credibility airing this unless it was real.

Awesome vid!

[animosityDK]

SPUF RULES YEAHHHH

[DireCry]

Liek Charlie100 is right, this Elephant sucks!!!

[Charlie100]

zomg steam forums rock!

[chaosruins]

there are talking cats and dog videos, just search it up, theres a few videos on that.

[DireCry]

Seems fake to me but oh well, talking cats would be better.

[Matheus15]

Bullshit

[monsterfromid]

This is not bullshit. Apes have been taught sign language and parrots have been shown to have numeracy skills. Elephants are extremely intelligent and may even mourn their dead.

[sexWithABeach]

wowww thats niceeee

[Berbs]

Thank you so much! This is the first real videoproof I've seen that is long enough.
