A particular parrot and an elephant might look like the rest of their species, but according to their owners the two are the most talented animals on Earth.

‘Griffin’, the parrot is as clever as a three-year-old child, and ‘Hong’, the elephant is a fantastic painter.

The parrot can easily understand abstract concepts such as time, place and matter.

And the elephant is so good at his painting skills, that he once fooled a roomful of art experts into thinking that his daubs were produced by a human.

The duo is featured in a Five documentary series called ‘Extraordinary Animals’. Please visit here for more information.
