We should also realize they've been trained to do these paintings. They didn't come up with the compostions themselves.
Though, it is impressive that they can learn this type of thing. The way it handles the brush and gets right back on the the same line it wants to retrace - amazing.
Just like in human populations there is a range of personality and intelligence within animals. Elephants have been documented as showing keen intelligence and personality to the Roman empire.
For example, I watched a show on bear researchers in Alaska talking about the different bear personalities in the area and one male was described as a "psycho" that all the other bears avoided and that they kept an eye on at all times when doing research.
I think that many people carry thier biases about animals into encounters with them and assume they are monolithic in behavior.
P.S. I've read some VERY interesting articles on how smart King Cobra's are. Generally regarded as being as smart as dogs.
