Watch this elephant paint a beautiful image of an elephant holding a flower. You'll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based.
So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, "Starving Elephant Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand. Own a print of the art for $35.
Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all of the elephants be free to be in the wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.

I'm from Chiangmai, Thailand, was born & raised there. This work is real and I admired how smart elephants are. If you think it's fake, get on the plane and see it with your own eyes.
I'm amazed how many birds are left out there. Obviously, they're not on-par with, say, a dolphin, as a dolphin simply has more of a capacity, but for their size many birds (Including crows, parrots, pigeons, etc.) have shown somewhat intricate problem solving. (Such as a parrot solving a wooden puzzle, or a crow placing otherwise unbreakable nuts upon the road where they are cracked open by passing cars.)
Even if it is 'trained' to do this, are we not as humans 'trained' to do almost everything we learn from birth? We couldn't even tie our shoe laces without first being 'trained' to do so. Usually it is species who have developed sophisticated social groups who have become the most advanced. Elephants are incredibly social beings and form deep emotional bonds amongst their family groups, even how their mourn their dead is astonishing & displays the depth of these bonds & their intelligence.
This is so obviously someone's arm inside a grey rubber tube, and a shameless fake notice how the brush doesn't touch until the elephant's face is out of shot.On the other hand,it's an original, and better than some well known artists. How much did this sell for? I hope it was not destroyed afterwards.
No it's not fake and the reason why the brush doesn't touch until the elephant's face is out of the shot is b/c the person taping was trying to zoom in on what the elephant was doing. Honestly, human beings do not give our animal relatives enough credit. Elephants have been proven to be extremely intelligent. Their brain capacity is immense, hence the saying "An elephant never forgets."

It appears pretty real to me :)
