Elephant caught on CCTV picking up litter before putting it in the bin

I'm not entirely sure where this is, but suspect it's at a game reserve in South Africa.


YouTube link.

Update: It was filmed at Thornhill Safari Lodge in Limpopo Province, South Africa. (Original Facebook video).

Wow! That is impressive. I can't even get my grandkids to do that.

Even if this is a trained elephant, the fact that he uses his foot to assist his trunk is what gobsmacks me. Like how we use our thumb to assist our fork. The intelligence and attention to detail is breath-taking precisely because so many of us still, still, right them off as "just animals" and the Chinese want to genocide them for knick knacks. I fear it's too late to save them.

What a heinous crime it would be to kill these noble animals into extinction. I recently heard that it's terrorists killing them to raise money by selling the ivory.
