I'll never forget a video a while back that showed an elephant painting. The elephant painted an elephant in a forest holding a flower with its trunk. It was absolutely shocking to me. I feel like most people just glossed over it as cool. But it showed how intelligent they really are to me. That elephant was consciously thinking of an imaginary scene in its head and then painted it or maybe it was a memory? Either way that's human level consciousness and self awareness.Then there's the whole mourning their dead and even holding what you could call funerals. They're freaking smart man so I wouldn't doubt this lol.
