The elephant art club


A group of elephants in Thailand regularly get together for a painting session - these creatures have art in their souls and a paintbrush in their trunks.

The elephants' artistic talents have long been appreciated by tourists but have now started to create waves in the art world. One canvas even sold for £20 000, with more modest efforts going for £2 000 apiece.


The £20 000 painting was created by new recruit Lankam - just as with all artistic communities, fresh blood proved to be a stimulant of greater creativity and stylistic novelty.

Other hobbies pursued by this group of talented elephants include playing football and basketball. But with their art club, these amazing animals have scored a veritable slam dunk!

  1. Rubbish I would never pay £2,000 for one of these, but would be happy to pay the £38 it cost according to the Daily Mail. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT :)
