It totally amazed me and I didn't believe it was real, but checked around the internet and apparently it is. I think you will enjoy it and be as amazed as I was. Something to take our minds off of our government.

Indian Elephants are very intelligent.

There are some animals I don;t think we should kill for sport and elephants, especially Indian elephants are one of them.

I would be a bit more impressed if there was not a human in the scene who seems to be directing the action.

I read that the elephant actually does the painting and makes the brush strokes, but none of them do that without a handler giving them direction by tugging on their ears to signal direction to be made for the paintbrush, or signaling in some other way for the elephant to make the movements. So it is both elephant and human making the painting. Moreover, the elephants who paint specialize (some do flowers for example), but there is no creativity on the part of the elephant. It is, however, amazing to watch the elephants do this.
