Question

I used to go to this art museum and i saw many people flocking at one corner and whispering at eachother's ears like they could'nt believe what they saw with their own eyes.It's actually a marvellous pantings made by elephants in zoo to raise charity funds and the painting sells at a very high price that only a millionaire could own them.many NGO bodies do buy them and all the money were used for elephants conservation effort.Some of if were also donated the other welfare organizations.What do you guys think about this?Is it true that elephants are true artist?

Answer 1

'Depends on what you mean by "natural". They have excellent dexterity with their trunk that they use in the wild to manipulate sticks (generally for the leaves attached), and they are highly intelligent. That would give them a natural ability to be taught to paint. I don't think they'd think of it on their own, though.
