Elephant goes viral after painting a self-portrait

An elephant at a Thailand sanctuary showed off her art skills by using her trunk to pick up a brush and paint a self-portrait. UPI news reported.

Suda, a 4-year-old living at the Maetaeng Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, is one of several elephants at the park trained to paint pictures for visitors.

Suda is seen using a brush and paper clipped to an easel to paint a self-portrait.

The Maetaeng Elephant Camp was founded in 1996 after the Thailand government banned killing elephants illegally.
