What surprises me are the elements of control, co-ordination and rhythm that the elephants are displaying. They aren`t walking away, or knocking their instruments over. And the big guy in the centre hitting the drums, for instance, is delivering a consistent beat. The only apparent reward for his efforts is pleasure, or at least curiosity, about the sound that he`s making. So, does that mean that he`s a musician ?

I guess that was the question in the back of my mind when I said, "intriguing".
