this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on people use your fucking brains for once. the elephant wasn't painting from pure imagination. those elephants are trained to paint that exact picture over and over 1000 times. is it impressive? yes. amazing? no.
you gullible humans make me fucking sick. we Nortrons from the Planet ZuDu are far less gullible.
TheWiseCommenter (ironic) is rather a douche. Most of us know the elephant is trained, so who are you trying to convince?! It is impressive AND amazing (both subjective things btw but yes because you don't see things like this) that an elephant can paint using its trunk to paint a likeness of itself even if it is trained to do so. GTFO and go back to "Planet Zudu" or change your screenname to something befitting at least
awwe the gorilla definitely had mother instincts or something lol and omg the giraffe's hitting each other was crazy to see! kinda funny though how they used their long ass necks haha good video footage!
the giraffe thing was very bizarre. I was freakin out cause i love giraffes, but at the same time it was hilarious they were like pieces of rubber with rocks on the end
gorilla: you go girl! she is smart. the people were probably thinking she was gonna eat him or something, lol. but she protected him. what a good gorilla.
giraffe: i know they do that already :)
elephant: FRIGGIN AMAZING. I WAS LIKE OMFG. THAT IT PROBABLY THE MOST TALENTED ANIMAL ON EARTH. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I WAS AWE STRUCK. AWE STRUCK. GIFT FROM GOD. GOD WANTS TO SHOW YOU THE WONDERS OF THE EARTH PROBABLY. AWESOME.
We're not that special. We have the luxury of believing so because there's no other species going to step up and say, "No, I don't think you guys are that neat at all." Observing other animals allows us to be more critical of ourselves.
lol she saves the boy gets him away from the other cradles him rocks him brings him to an accsess door ....so we hose her down lol gee kinda makes you wanna acknowledge the humanity of animals but thats just crazy talk
That Gorilla was caring for the child and got sprayed for the effort?!?!? ...and even then the Gorilla had the good sense to place the child at the doorway. Wow!
It seems that the gorilla has more sense and is more compassionate than the human (at any rate much more than the human holding the hose)
Yes, it is not fun to watch, but you don't have to over react when some human gets hurt. There are 6.6billion people in this world and it is very helpful when some one dies, because it means that our world will not overpopulate so quickly.
so based on ppl voting my comment down, you guys want the world to overpopulate? yeah, I'd rather die than experience this shit food shortage. And george, what do you mean we aren't born into nature?
I think your post's unpopularity is due to the fact that people don't believe that 'humans getting hurt' or 'dieing' is a valid solution for the very valid problem of overpopulation that you raise.
Who cares about my unpopularity. Death is the solution to prevent overpopulation. Death doesn't care if you think it is the solution or not, there is no other way to prevent it.
Birth control fucks up with the women's reproductive organs. Why don't you just accept the fact that humans need death in order to prevent overpopulation.
@Patriotfrosh15 When I say we arent born into nature, im saying we are born into civilisation, where we live in cities and towns, all the trees have been cut down (not literally). And we do not need to survive, we dont have to forage food/hunt food or collect firewood and make fire from it etc. We are in an un-natural enviroment, square houses etc.... IDK what we were talking about but I know what I meant about us being not born into nature.
@G3org3Master Weelll kinda. It is natural for us to form groups and use resources to survive. We have advanced, and by that I mean we've added detail to how we make our shelters etc. We DO hunt food actually. That's how we get our meat. That and we raise animals to breed more of themselves, but not always. We can't just wait every year to eat 20 or less meals. lol And some people do frequently hunt for food.
A lot of things we do are still natural actually. But we are very.. unnatural too.
Why the fuck do people always scream? For some reason it always pisses me off, it's just annoying and will not help the situation, if anything it will make it worse by scaring the gorilla.
Unless you, armygreen314, are in fact 5 years old, than you can't make that statement, and, try telling that to "MyNameIsVictorr", he started the argument.
David, what are you saying? The elephant 'thinks', so it can paint? Or animals don't 'think' because they rely solely on instincts? No one has special insight into the minds of other mammals, but it's arrogant to think that humans are so damn special, we're the only animals who "think". Most other mammals have some degree of consciousness and some forms of higher cognition, suggesting it's not all 'instincts'.
Elephants', Dolphins' & some Monkeys' self-awareness, as well as all mammals' ability to make judgments that are more complex than reptilian instinct, doesn't detract from man's thinking specialty.

This Elephant was clearly trained, as its drawing ability is superior to cave drawings!

Our being special contributes to the universe's overall wonder, it doesn't conflict with it that we should need to simplify our superiority in order to equate ourselves with beauty around us.
I disagree. Our sentient and creative brains & souls are more complex, beautiful and wondrous than the largest, most colorful nebula, or the mightiest black-hole.
As for life outside our planet: that is still a variable which remains at zero, for now.
I agree with what you're saying, I just don't like the word "Superiority". It's common for people to treat humanity as if we're literally 'gods gift' and then scoff at 'stupid' animals. We're all products of the natural world, evolution has simply provided us with different adaptations.
Humans are unique, Yes. But it annoys me that people are surprised by the idea that an non-human animal might actually think! Just read all the shocked and awed comments to this video.
They're shocked because it's an elephant painter, rather than another trainable animal, such as a dog. Since Elephants are self-aware, one would be forgiven for assuming that this painting was a product of its own creativity, rather than a product of the "sit, rollover, play dead" training that it truly is.
It is therefore misleading not to have this disclaimer written within the video's description. Blame lies squarely with National Geographic for this (intentional?) mistake.
It's the coordination, the motor skills to paint something discernable to the human eye of the elephant that is impressive. In any regard, our knowledge of the intelligence of other animals is quite infantile and advancing with recent studies that indicate that we may have been quite wrong in the past about the intelligence of other species. Sentience, as science defines it, is not a suitable gage.
gez didn't know giraffes could be so violent. i mean that seriously looks like one or the other could get killed. i always figured those prongs on the head were ornamental. i wonder if a giraffe would have enough of a reach to be able to hit a person with those things. it would be interesting to see how long the prongs might get after millions of years of evolution. it would seem that whatever giraffe had the strongest sharpest horns would be the one to win mating rights.

I agree with what you're saying, I just don't like the word "Superiority". It's common for people to treat humanity as if we're literally 'gods gift' and then scoff at 'stupid' animals. We're all products of the natural world, evolution has simply provided us with different adaptations.
Humans are unique, Yes. But it annoys me that people are surprised by the idea that an non-human animal might actually think! Just read all the shocked and awed comments to this video.

They're shocked because it's an elephant painter, rather than another trainable animal, such as a dog. Since Elephants are self-aware, one would be forgiven for assuming that this painting was a product of its own creativity, rather than a product of the "sit, rollover, play dead" training that it truly is.
It is therefore misleading not to have this disclaimer written within the video's description. Blame lies squarely with National Geographic for this (intentional?) mistake.

It's the coordination, the motor skills to paint something discernable to the human eye of the elephant that is impressive. In any regard, our knowledge of the intelligence of other animals is quite infantile and advancing with recent studies that indicate that we may have been quite wrong in the past about the intelligence of other species. Sentience, as science defines it, is not a suitable gage.

elephant think is dishonest because they are trained to paint that shape.

Notice how you don't see the elephant's entire trunk while she's painting? That's fishy.

gez didn't know giraffes could be so violent. i mean that seriously looks like one or the other could get killed. i always figured those prongs on the head were ornamental. i wonder if a giraffe would have enough of a reach to be able to hit a person with those things. it would be interesting to see how long the prongs might get after millions of years of evolution. it would seem that whatever giraffe had the strongest sharpest horns would be the one to win mating rights.
