Koshik the talking elephant!

Moving aside from my usual interests in archaeology, I would like to present Koshik, the talking elephant (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20142858)! Koshik has taught himself to place his own trunk inside his mouth to do an impression of the human voice. Listen to the video where Koshik says the word Good in Korean, "Choah." Listen to his trainer saying it and get Koshik's repetitions! Very impressive! My plan is to learn Korean from Koshik, and then test it out on my Korean speaking friends...
