I saw an elefant do somthing like this in a zoo.. The poor creatures loses their minds in there. Gotta face ugly little kids each day pointing at them and not being able to move free, you cant blame them for losing their minds.. I hate zoos..
This behavior looks like stereotypic behavior, which is repetitive behavior caused by the stress and frustration of confinement. It is the same as when tigers or lions pace or elephants sway or rock back & forth. Often you will see people in asylums rocking, it is the same thing. When confinement conditions are too stressful they check out as a coping mechanism. They have gone crazy.
