Nothing to do with 9/11 at all but such an amazing revelation (to me at least) that animals have such perception. Part of the "bigger picture" in some way? (no pun intended!)

Wow, that's amazing! An elephant paints an elephant! And imagine trying to paint a portrait using your nose! I couldn't paint that!

Incredible world we live in!

Paints well too Smile

Self-consciousness. Amazing.
Brings one closer to the way all things are connected: all is One.

Youre so easily deceived arent you. Its a "paint o mine" elephant. One Indian in the front and one in the rear. Very Happy

Can you elaborate? What is a "Paint o Mine" elephant and what do you mean front & rear?

Surely, that couldn't be someone's arm stuck up a prosphetic trunk, and if you think it is (just because you never see any other part of the elephant in frame when it's painting) then you're just a cynic.

Pantomime elephant...? If it had been April First, then maybe.

Its a play on words Rory. "paint o mime" = Pantomime. Like two people in the pantomime horse one being the front and another the rear.

I've done some googling, and apparently these painting elephants are for real - it seems they're trained to just paint the same picture over and over again - but that's still pretty impressive.
I apologise for my earlier cynicism - just that time of year!
