(Dancing Elephants) - "Kodak Video Challenge Contest"

Here is a hilarious video of (Dancing Elephants) that I captured in Thailand on my visit last year in 2010. I also captured these Elephants playing soccer, basketball, throwing darts at balloons, riding bicycles, giving massages and painting.

I have never in my life seen such talented Elephants as I did in Thailand, and I would like everyone to know that no Elephants were hurt dancing and performing for the audience.

This post is written as a submission to the ActiveRain Kodak Video Challenge contest. I have the chance to win the KODAK PLAYTOUCH Pocket Video Camera, great for Realtors looking to create wide angle home tours and real estate marketing videos!"

Good morning VB,

It is amazing what you can teach an elephant to do. This is the first time I have seen anything like that. You just may have a winner ther.

Hello Jim and I don't know these Elephants are pretty talented, I have video footage of one of the largest ones massaging someone while they are lying on the ground.

And Do you never know these Elephants could be winners, we will wait and see!

Hello Rob and I think these HUGE creatures do have a great chance of taking the (Gold)!

And Melissa I wasn't sure if I was going to post any videos to the contest either, here is another cute post that I entered last week ...

VB, I am a debbie downer, but anytime I see elephants, I think of how cruelly they are usually trained :-(

Jan 31, 2011 02:43 AM

Thanks for stopping by Ritu and I would like to go to India some day!

And Kristin I am sorry you feel this way and there is cruelty around the World to animals, people and more living ceatures. And if the trainers are cruel to these Elephants I wish there was some thing I could do to help ... ;0)

If those elephants can be trained so well, I should be able to train my 11 month old Golden Retriever...... alas.

They might be very talented but they still can not take all 4 legs off the ground at the same time.

Feb 01, 2011 12:22 PM

Hello Jane and no they can't do that because of their weight and slowness, wouldn't that be something if they could!

VB ;o)
