This painting shows a disturbed elephant. Elephants have some behaviours when they are disturbed. Defensive or submissive actions highlight an elephant's fear or indecision. They include avoidance, agitated curling trunk movements, throwing of dust, foot-swinging and exaggerated feeding behaviour (loudly breaking off branches, pulling up grass etc).
