Irregardless of all that...
here is a picture of a fjucking elephant painting another fjucking elephant.

(actual pic from here)
This is not a cow or a kangaroo, this is a freaking self-aware creature that's communicating something astonishing.
And if you need more proof of their brains, they also like the booze!
(actually, not sure if that's proof of anything, 'cept elephants, like people, do crazy things while drunk...which is funny cause they weigh like two tons and with a little effort could destroy your house)
