  • OMG OMG watch this at site

    shrek4online[dot]com

  • shockssss

  • Can watch movies online, use google search "FASTMOVIEPRO"

  • woh, thats quite scary when the bear got the child, i hate things like this, but thanks 4 uploading 5/5

  • That elephant can paint better than i can!

  • We fail to remember that humans are animals. All living things are either animals or plants. We certainly are not plants, so we are animals. Evolution is what makes the difference between animals.

    Joshua Spencer

  • You're right except the evolution part. Nothing doesn't make a difference. Its illogical.

  • that elephant's drawing is amazing.

    the elephant is truly a clever animal.

  • everytime i go out ... i always bring my camera with me...... incase something like this happens xD

  • people are just fucking retards. the bitch with the giraffes??? wtf?? THEY ARE FUCKING ANIMALS. we fight just he same. humans want to have civility and control everything. I just wanna punch some people right in the fuckin face. WAKE UP! yuppies

  • you surely act like one.h hahahahah

  • tarzan comes to mind... for some reason.

  • I'd love to make a video like yours haha. that's cool though! I want to mess with windows movie maker but i know there are better programs out there! haha

  • oh my god!!! i love the elephant!! so sweet and smart! :)

  • there was this episode of pirates of dark water, where an old sorceress wanted to make a youth potion out with some dark water.

  • 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

  • LMAFO giraffes fight sooo stupid

  • hot girl at 10 secs!

  • that is one smart elephant , amazing how smart animals are

  • yes.. humans are animals as well.. amazing isn't it.

  • THE ELEPHANT IS REALLY AMAZING

  • they train the elephants through abusing them not through friendly means :(

  • 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

    WHACK

  • Amazing...

  • Wow that last one, Sometimes when you look in the eyes of an animal you can just feel there presence.

  • the gorilla had seen the movie Tarzan and said to her self "I WANT ONE...TOOoOoOoO!"

    LOL xD

  • wow elephants can draw better than some humans

  • 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.

  • indeed

  • Awesome! The lady gorilla protected the boy! =D

  • Amazing.

  • Holy fucking hell. Oh shit that's gotta hurt surprisingly no broken legs.

  • how the fuck did the kid get down there O.o

  • Im guessing the kid leaned too far off the railing and fell in

  • lol that was funny XD

  • 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.

  • i whant a elephant like that x3

  • 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

  • lol at the giraffs

  • lol they had to settle the score lol

  • i hope that elephant wasnt trained to do the same picture over and over again. it that was realy in the elephants head that would be incredible

  • WOW! that elephant at the end is AMAZING! Goes to show just how aware some animals really are!

  • its not aware, they train them to do that.

  • Elephant's are self-aware. However, they can't draw that well, so yeah, it was trained to draw that.

  • meh i dont think the elephants that special, i thought the giraffes were hilarious. the impact of the hits sounded brutal.

  • OMG - this elephant!!! :D

  • wow.. that was cool... i never thought that it's real... that elephant is amazing!

  • haha first time i ever saw a giraffe do something like that

  • giraffes are CRAZY

  • Wow, what a cool elephant. And that ape was just astounding......the compassion it demonstrated, amazing.

  • that`s some elephant...

  • elephants are really smart .. i saw those same show live once in thailand

  • omg the elephant have more talent that me XD

  • ROFL @ THE GIRAFFES XD

  • amazing video ...thx for sharing

  • a firefighter and paramedic trained not to panic "doesnt realize he was still filming"

    and then "zooms in on the gorilla".

    i friggin hate natgeo. make up some more crap to sell the unsuspecting public

    all in the name of tv and money. die natgeo, DIE.

  • That was incredible footage.

  • 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)

  • How did that kid fall in the gorrilla enclosure. And girraffes have a very bad way to fight!

  • awesome video!!!

  • Why do people get scared over fighting...... It's all just a part of death. Deal with it...

  • why u ask? because it's not fun to watch other people/animals suffering in pain!!!!

  • 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.

  • yes but we anrnt born into nature.

  • 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?

  • Patriot,

    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.

  • How about preemptive birth control?

  • 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.

  • In the same way we need disease and, as I believe, homosexuality.

  • wtf does this have to do with the video..

  • I'm replying to several post that are discussing that topic.

  • @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.

  • They're not scared, they're intrigued and excited since they never seen that before

  • Great video! Three amazing events that kept my attention the whole time... An impressive feat on the internet.

  • why the hell were they all screaming? it was only a gorilla.

  • Whaaat? I never knew that animals actually think like that.

  • your dumb

  • I think you mean "you're dumb".

  • No he meant "your dumb G3org3Master" and its the ending.

    Dont ask, where the rest of the text is.

  • I was correcting his grammar. He said your when you should say you're as in you are dumb.

  • You didn't  quite get me.

    Try: vvf.indianfoodforever.k0m/cake­s/strawberry-cake.h7ml

  • What is that? A url?

  • Its a pony :O

  • @SuperEpicX Yeah I did. This year I learnt the correct way anyway, actually it pisses me off when I see people using your for you're now xD

  • I love the Elephant Artist

  • O_O WOW....

  • wow

  • this was definetly NOT a waste of time, glad i saw this, AMAZING ;D

  • WOW that was so AMAZING!!!!XD

  • I wonder if that elephant will teach me how to paint.

  • 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.

  • yeah and most of the time its just girls. will scream for no reason

  • Giraffes smack each other with their faces, humans make bombs and blow up each other.

    giraffe > human

  • They never showed the full elephant drawing! Just the trunk, so I think it was fake!

  • Hey swangin,

    It could have merely been trained prior, so there's no need to incriminate anyone.

  • i'm so glad i watched this

  • wow

  • i suck at painting, that flower was awsome O_O

  • me 2

  • Elephants > Chimpanzees

  • The Chimpanzee saved a life, the Elephant painted.

    Chimpanzee > Elephant

  • Wasn't tht a gorilla? lol it was like something off a movie.

  • It was a gorilla, not a chimpanzee.

    5 year old's intelligence>ShokuaK's intelligence.

  • 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.

  • the elephant is better at painting than i am!

  • elephants can draw well apparently

  • that elephant drew a better elephant than i can draw... D:

  • wow..that elephant can paint better then me...

  • he's my art teacher

  • U R a psychopath.

  • omfg that elephant was soo pro :D

  • Holy shiii-- That elephant is amazing!! o.o We really should give animals a hell of a lot more credit! xD

  • I can just imagine the Crocodile Hunter walking up to the family at the beginning, "Crikey! A real walking American family!"

  • LOL so funny

  • haha giraffes.. fight like the special ed kids at my school.. lol

  • I though it was common giraffes fought each other? Ah well.

  • WOW..that means elephants actually think...

    David

  • All animals think you idiot. YOU might be the exception.

  • 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'.

  • David is probly just a bible thumber....and thinks were some gift from god

    but really were just part of the world and universe, just like anything else.....its when you start thinking your special, that you run into trouble

    and i dunno about you....but id say our world is alot more amazing when we realize just how insignificant we are

  • Nikolas, I think you just hit the nail on the head :)

  • COuldnt have said it better myself, cheers!

  • Hey Nikolas,

    1

    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.

    2

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

    3

    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.

  • humans are unique....there not special though

    and our uniqueness is insignificant, as soon as we leave our planet....

    and depending on whether or not there is other life in our universe ....our own existence may be even less significant

  • 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.

  • We are special, because our thinking ability is so much superior to every other mammal.

    We can also communicate to others something other than our current state of being or feeling, another superiority.

  • 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.

  • Wow I'm really truely amazed that elephant painting is stunning!

  • Firstly the giraffe thing, can i just say what planet were those two people from... idiots. Got to say if the Elephant thing was real, thats cool.

  • wow cool , gorilla

    they say all monkey females will try to be helpful,,

  • omg luv the elephant!! she can help me pass art class =)

  • the elephant is a way better painter than me!

    and how did that kid get down into the pit with the gorillas?

  • he fell , that is what the thud was

  • 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.

  • Wow.

    That elephant is amazing...

  • That elephant pwns.

  • wow thats an awesome elephant

  • the elephant draws better than me :(

  • that was awesome! the giraffe part was sad but at least they didn't kill each other!

  • i want an elephant as a pet!

  • damn elephant can draw!

  • From human Cradlin gorillas to neck banging giraffes to artistic elephants. Wow! this is amazing

  • now i see where zidane learned the headbutt move

  • Haha

  • 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.
