Thanks, Jason.. I was wondering if there was a faint pencil line on the paper that didn't show up. YOu know on some TV programs, that are teaching children and adults to draw and paint...they have faint pencil lines that only the artist can see...so it looks like he/she is drawing everything from scratch, but they are really following a faint trail.
I thought it was a stretch that the elephant had a visual image in its mind so exact as to show forshortened legs. That is pretty sophisticated mental cognitive ability. But I could see an elephant tracing a picture!
In any event, it is still very fascinating!
