3 TEST A Selection 1 Directions: Wet Paint is an article about elephants that can paint. Read the article. Then answer Questions 1 8. Wet Paint! You may have seen an elephant on TV that runs or sprays water with its trunk. But have you ever seen an elephant paint? Animal trainers across North America are teaching elephants to use their trunks to create paintings. Ruby was one of the first elephants taught to paint. She was born in a logging camp in Thailand in It is not known what Ruby s first months in the camp were like. At birth, Asian elephants normally weigh more than 200 pounds. Ruby was brought to the United States when she was seven months old. When she arrived at the airport, she weighed only 350 pounds. Ruby s new home was the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona. Life for Ruby was very different there from life in the wild or in the logging camps. In the wild, elephants spend their days looking for food and water. In camps, they are kept busy with hard work. In zoos, elephants are fed by zookeepers and do not work. One problem for zoo elephants is that they become bored. As Ruby grew older, she became bored. She started chasing the zookeepers and other animals. She got into trouble. Therefore, Ruby s trainers knew that they had to keep her busy. Ruby s trainers noticed that she liked to make marks in the dirt with her trunk. One trainer took that skill and built on it. First, she taught Ruby to use a Ruby paints a picture at the Phoenix Zoo Options Publishing, Inc. 4 Test A Selection 1 Wet Paint!

Then Ruby s trainer dabbed the brush in paint. Ruby was now doodling in color. Soon she was painting on canvas. Zoo workers began to notice that Ruby used the colors she saw around her. One day she saw a fire truck. A burst of red paint appeared on her canvas. For the most part, Ruby used the same colors that she saw in the clothing worn by visitors who walked by her at the zoo. Ruby s paintings were sold in the gift shop. The sale of the paintings raised more than $500,000 for zoo improvements. Other elephants in the United States are also famous for their artwork. Like Ruby, Tarra was born in an Asian logging camp in the 1970s. Then she was brought to California and taught to paint. For years, Tarra s painting entertained children and adults at zoos. She also appeared on TV and in the movies. In 1986, an art shop in California had a gallery show of Tarra s works. Many people came to see the art show. Tarra has used chalk, pen and ink, and charcoal. But she seems to like watercolors best. She loves to take a small bit of nontoxic paint into her trunk and spray it onto the canvas. Asian elephants are not the only elephants that paint. At the Knoxville Zoo in Tennessee, Mamie, a 36-year-old African elephant, has taken up the hobby. First Mamie was trained to hold and carry objects she could not eat, such as rocks. Soon she learned to hold chalk and paintbrushes. Mamie s trainers say she is bright and easy to teach. Most trainers who teach elephants to paint are trying to keep the animals from becoming bored. They want to add interesting and different activities to the elephants day. For Ruby, Tarra, and Mamie, painting has become an important part of their lives. doodling: drawing carelessly gallery: a building or room for showing works of art An elephant s work of art Go On Test A Selection 1 Wet Paint! 5
