Aww, smart elephant! I wonder if it's self-generated, or is the elephant simply recreating the strokes that has been shown to it? I definitely believe an elephant can memorize and mimic brush strokes that it has been taught...kind of like how parrots can mimic language. Whether it can come up with something like that on its own, I have my doubts. Either way, it is certainly very intelligent, and I'm probably just jealous because it is a better painter than I am.
