The picture was painted by an elephant named Suda from Thailand.
In fact, besides Suda, many other elephants also paint pictures in this way. Elephants do not naturally paint in the wild. Therefore, they are given special training to learn how to paint. In this process, the elephants use their trunks to hold paintbrushes. The brushes they use are specially designed for them. They are also trained on where to stand and how to use the brushes. Just as not all elephants paint in the same style, not all of them learn at the same rate. Some learn to paint quickly, while others take a long time.
However, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the painting of elephants. Many believe that elephants are forced to paint in this manner. Additionally, these elephants lack their own creativity and simply reproduce what their trainers have taught them to paint. As a result, some view this practice as a form of exploitation of wild animals. What do you think—should elephants be made to paint in this way?
