Have you heard of the saying "An elephant paint better that you do"? Probably not, because I just made that. And that's what my sentiment is right now upon seeing this video of an elephant dexterously painting an image of itself. I;m really amazed at how beautiful the arts of these animals can make. Go and watch it! It has been proven that elephants do have better thinking than humans. They also have better memories compared to us. Of course, their brains are obviously bigger. Being the biggest animal on land means a lot as well, so they have to be smart.
These particular elephants on the video are Asian Elephants. They are now starting to become extinct as their natural habitats in India, Thailand and other Asian countries are now facing destruction and of course, because of poachers as well.
They are now being supported by anti elephant poaching organizations in Thailand and is helping them grow back in numbers inside captivities. Their art products are now being sold at Exotic World Gifts so if you have some spare dollar, you can help support these elephants by buying their very own self-drawn self-portraits.
