Just smart as hell. This video makes me wonder if elephants legit have a sense of humor:

Animal behavior can be difficult to interpret (and even from experts, I often find myself asking “yeah, but how do we really know that?”), but this looks very close to being like someone who’s known for lighthearted pranks.

I WANT to believe this but I’ve seen too many elephant videos that turned out to be just elephants trained to do a quirky thing for tourists and there’s someone off camera subtly directing them.
