They say, "This is all real, no film trickery, post-production or hidden cuts -- he's just a very clever elephant."
If that is 100% real (which I'd like to believe it is) then it's really impressive. Especially when he draws the elephant

Advertising bullshit imo, the trunk looks too un natural in all the shots and the wee wave at the end gives the game away big time for me - was semi-believable up to then

Surely it's no different to training a dog to sit or roll over?
It obviously isn't the first time it's ever been presented with the device, they have most likely trained it to put it's trunk up against it and move it left, right, up or down?

Having seen circus elephants in action, the wave is actually the most believable part for me.
Of course it can't draw with a fucking stylus! Viral marketing at its worst.

The phone is that big the elephant would be able to use the touch screen with its feet.

Would imagine the drawing bit was done over and over until they got a collection of random lines that resembled an elephant.
They are smart though, when I went to africa we were talking to some farmers that tried everything to keep the elephants off their crops and they kept finding ways around, beating down electric fences with trees and filling in trenches etc.
