A Most Amazing Video
My jaw really dropped when I saw this: an elephant paints a painting. This is simply just awesome. Check the video on YouTube.
In the background you can see other elephants painting other things, and the keepers hauling some of the finished paintings for people to see. Therefore I don’t think the elephants have been taught to draw just one thing. It seems that the same elephant indeed draws the same thing, exactly the same way every time. In other words, it’s just repeating a learned pattern. It’s not creating the picture.
Well, I still want to say that the painting is very sweet: an elephant carrying a red-orange flower in its trunk. Even though the elephant did not use its creativity to make it from nothing.
