ARTISTIC instincts.
Species it seems, is no barrier to
artistic temperament, with one
elephant, Shanti, proving that she
has the flair to not only create
works of art, but sell them too.
Housed at Prague Zoo in the
Czech Republic, Shanti, a female
Asian elephant, was introduced to
art by her keeper who taught her
to hold a paintbrush with her trunk.
After a few months mastering
the art of holding the brush,
dipping it in colours and painting
the canvas, Shanti could create
her own artworks without any
keeper assistance.
During the next two months she
painted 12 artworks, before losing
interest in the work.
Her artworks are now being
auctioned off to raise money for
zoo equipment in Sri Lanka, and
are selling for up to $1,500 each.
DEATH and taxes.
Last week zombies converged on the US Democratic Convention to announce their candidate for presidency, Mr A Zombie. Backed up by his first lady, Patty Morgan-Zombie, Mr Zombie pledged to “highlight the plight of the zombie community”. Speaking to media about the presidential race, Patty Zombie said “My husband is running for president, because he could have taken a certain issue lying down, well, because he was already lying down, but he decided to stand up and pledge to fight for equal viewing opportunities for all”. The zombie campaign is actually part of a stunt to get the series The Walking Dead reinstated on the Dish Network after the network dumped the popular zombie television show due to contractual disputes.
