This elephant was made for talking

Korean is considered one of the hardest languages in the world to master, but an elephant in a South Korean zoo is making a good start. Koshik, a 22-year-old Asian elephant, has stunned experts and his keepers at Everland Zoo near Seoul by imitating human speech. Koshik can say the Korean words for "hello," "sit down," "no," "lie down," and "good." His trainer, Kim Jong Gap, first started to realize Koshik was mimicking him several years ago. "In 2004 and 2005, Kim didn't even know that the human voice he heard at the zoo was actually from Koshik," zoo spokesman In Cherl Kim said. "But in 2006, he started to realize that Koshik had been imitating his voice and mentioned it to his boss." So basically we're dealing with an elephant that can talk. That's quite amazing but what could be even more amazing is an elephant that can do that stupid Gangnam Style dance.
