that's NOT PAINTING. I dont know how could you believe this video, Alexk. I tought you will be more more sceptical.

it's just doing this over and over due to negative reinforcements without knowing what it is doing.

If you think it is painting, so a robot can paint after a programmation.

They are "drawing" over and over, day after day, for naives tourists the exact same drawing.


Even monkeys can't paint properly by themself(or as good as a 2-3 years old child according to a reportage) so forget elephants.

How could someone believe that a elephant could draw at the end a colorful flower ? It is so obvious that is from a poetic human mind.

In fact, Elephants in Thailand are suffering of Torture.

If one day, i could see a elephant drawing by itself,many drawing,always differents ones, i will believe in this hype.

Tomorrow, perphaps a elephant will write "i'm happy & i'm hungry" in front of tourists, after endless boring repetitions, would you seriously think it could write ?
