Watch this elephant paint a beautiful image of an elephant holding a flower. You'll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based
Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all elephants be free to be in the wild. That is no longer possible at this time. The Asian elephant hovers on the brink of extinction due to loss of habitat and poaching. They are smaller than the African elephant and have smaller ears . They are intelligent and gentle natured. A fund has been set up to support their care by selling the elephant paintings.

I am sure that pooping elephants are a specialty but cost a little more.
ReplyDeleteI was blown away that an elephant had that much control.It takes a hundred times more effort on her part than anything I have ever done. I am in awe.
Have a good one...Your friendly neighborhood Genie
