The most amazing thing about that video (to me) is the fact that many people who view it still don't believe that an elephant can be self-aware.

I have to laugh at the depth of ignorance some people are enveloped in.

This was so beautiful to watch, yes of course elephants are intelligent as all animals are, it's a shame people do not understand this and stop treating the animal world as underdeveloped!
Many ways they are more emotional and understanding than the human.

WOW!

This just makes me wonder what else animals are capable of? Should we even call them animals after seeing what they are capable of?
