Very clever elephant

This elephant is more intelligent than he looks. It's quite incredible, really, because a lot of dogs can't even do what this elephant is keenly smart enough to attempt. Talk about a critical thinker!

First, he tries to obtain the very high branch by standing on a block that he rolls to the location:

                        After that, he uses a tire:

Then, this is the most clever of all, he collects and stacks various objects to rest his front feet (evidently elephants can't kneel without support in the front) on while he kneels down to gain more height.

                  I never knew that elephants were so perspicacious!
