Get a load of this Pachyderm.

Ever since this post, Ive felt elephants weren't getting a fare shake on TripleChimp. This next video, which is for Elephant and Art lovers alike, will hopefully give our thick-skinned friends their proper place on the site.

The full description from the YouTube page is after the jump.

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.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and
loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, "Starving Elephant
Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in
Thailand. Own a print of the art for $35.

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 of the elephants be free to be in the
wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.
