Here is a wonderful video and article of elephants making music:

This really made my day, it's so heartwarming! I don't know about the musical merits of this but they do seem to be enjoying themselves and certainly it suggests that we are not so different from other animals.

smiley - cool I wonder about making tough enough instruments. Wow about the harmonicas! I am glad they are finding something else to do, they tend to be social and human friendly. I'm glad that they and their mahouts can still make a living. The rest of the fauna are happy not to be losing their habitat.

this happened in North Carolina somewhere. I think that the buck realized he was male.

Amazing, Willem! We need to book these guys some gigs, a world tour perhaps? Promote their first album? smiley - rofl.

No, but it's really special, and heartwarming indeed.

I can't open the video link, Elektra my luv. Now I really want to know what happened in North Carolina! With the buck, who realised he was male. The plot thickens. I love it when I can't open links, my imagination runs riot!

Fui! That will teach me not to use American TV links. It was featured on Yahoo yesterday and I thought that it would show. But no luck, most amazing shots the buck came over intitially friendly ---but then got a weird look in its eye and it head-butted the photographer.
