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 $15.

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.

    People don't give animals enough credit. Quit being so fucking arrogant people, some animals are very intelligent and just because they don't speak our language doesn't mean anything

    True, but let's not go nuts. Remember that while the elephant has displayed fantastic intelligence by painting this picture - you (a human) are watching a video recorded on this on the internet. The intelligence and ingenuity and design needed for that to happen are beyond comparison to an elephant painting a picture. This is a smart elephant. But you can't compare another animal to humans and say they're "very intelligent".

    I don't get these dumb people saying, "omg animals can be smaht". You're fucking retarded. Humans are intelligent, I'd say say that's enough proof that animals can be intelligent.

    Yep, even if the elephant doesn't know what she is painting, it's extraordinary that she managed to memorize how to make it and how she is so controlled. That's a sign of intelligence I would say.
