An elephant painting an elephant



Pretty incredible, actually (not to mention that it's a fairly impressive drawing by human standards). I love how the elephant does the phantom paint strokes before making contact with the canvas, like many real artists do.

For anybody skeptical, Snopes.com has confirmed that this is in fact authentic:

As a side note, I love how the spectators go from absolute, utter amazement to saying things like "what about the tail?" about halfway through.
