This is a video I shot of a 4-year-old elephant named Suda painting a picture of herself at the Maetaeng Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Original Elephant Painting - NGeo Wild on Tape
National Geographic flew us back to Thailand in order to confirm and document our Original Elephant Painting video of an elephant painting the realistic image of an elephant holding a flower. Listen to the experts and enjoy the great story about this elephant whose art takes care of other elephants.
This gentle giant, Hong, was never abused or forced to paint. She was rewarded with bananas and sugarcane as she learned each stroke. She also receives her favorite treats after each painting.
