Elephant Art Brush Painting by Permai

Product description

Elephants know how to draw in the sand with sticks and rocks and our team has slightly modified this behaviour to drawing on the easel as part of their enrichment activity at the Zoo.
 Elephants are natural artists. They are well known to doodle in the dirt with sticks. Ele Art is a stunning by-product of Perth Zoo’s enrichment program for elephants. Our enrichment program involves a wide array of behavioural and physical activities that keep our elephants stimulated and their days varied and interesting, with painting being one of their enrichment activities. All of our enrichment programs are assessed by veterinary teams and zoologists using an animal welfare framework.
 The paints used are animal friendly and are 100% non-toxic. Each piece is an original and no two pieces are ever the same. Each elephant has their own painting ‘signature’, painting with their own distinctive style.
 Where does the funding go?
All profits from your purchase will support Perth Zoo's conservation partners operating in the wild with the species represented at the Zoo. From the ecosystems of Indonesia to the plains of Zambia, thank you for helping to keep wildlife safe.
