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 when descriptions come 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.

Oh my goooooood. This is so delightful, you can almost see the smirk. Thank you for sharing. <3

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.
