From the visual evidence presented in that vid. The trunk looks real, is attached to the head,and looks exactly how I have seen elephants hold things other times. I don't know about the painting technique. And for the crowd...that is one deceiving child to act genuine at a time when everyone else in the crown would be in on a lie. As they would be able to see the human doing it.Or the child is so gullible as to believe that the elephant is doing it as the adults are saying, even as he sees a human hand painting?
I'm having trouble seeing how this is fake. Can you post a video from another angle maybe? Were there any others that captured the person painting? Is there an article written that presents evidence of a fake. More than just unnatural movement for an elephant trunk and advanced painting style. I'm not trying to be antagonizing towards either of you. I am just not seeing the fake here. I will happily alter my thoughts if you can present me with more concrete evidence :-)
