Viral Video: In an astonishing display of animal behavior, a recent video has surfaced showing an elephant being ostracized by its herd for an unexpected reason—its artistic skills. This footage, shared on Instagram by user jimmy_tangree, has garnered widespread attention, amassing over 617K likes.
The video captures a surprising scene: two elephants push another into a waterbody. The victim, unable to climb back up, roars loudly in distress. The footage includes multiple instances of this elephant being bullied by its herd. The scroll on the video narrates the story of this artistic elephant, which uses a brush and colors to create captivating paintings.
According to the video, the reason for the elephant's ostracism was its unique ability to paint. The herd's envy led to repeated attacks and isolation. To protect the talented elephant from further conflict, zoo staff decided to relocate it to a separate area where it could paint safely and without distraction. This move not only safeguarded the elephant but also allowed it to focus more on its artwork.
As the video went viral, it drew significant public interest. Many people visited the zoo to see the painting elephant in action. Away from its envious herd, the elephant's painting skills improved even further. The video’s narrative highlights how the elephant's life changed dramatically after gaining widespread recognition.
