If only Saint-Saens had seen this. Carnival of the Animals could have been so much more LITERAL.

An elephant never forgets how to play the piano

I just hope the keys aren’t made of ivory.

Posted by Jenn | August 19, 2013, 10:32 amWhat a cute elephant! He definitely enjoyed himself! To that previous statement from Tom Sharpe, I do hope its not made of Ivory. Otherwise, Peter, the Elephants may not want to play with that piano again. http://www.adventus.com/
Posted by Melissa Sean | September 17, 2013, 10:59 pmThis elephant is a great character! It seems genuinely amused by this opportunity to play the piano, and also to investigate the pianist with its trunk! I find it so amusing that animals can appreciate music like this. I mean, there’s no real evidence that the elephant likes it, but he just seems contented to press the keys and generally muck about. One has to wonder to what extent an elephant could actually understand melody.
Maybe there should be some behavioural studies on elephants exposed to music – I think the findings would be most interesting.
