I hate zoos, but "had to" take family to the one down in Colorado Springs. Family packed up close to the elephant cages. With my experience from horses I recognized the spread back legs, shift weight a little from side to side, and pee behavior pattern. One lady elephant backed up to the bars and did this.
Grabbed kids and Wife1 and I hauled ass away from the front row, and got far enough back when the elephant let go with this fire-hose of a stream, and back-splashed all the people who were standing close.
Accompanying screams and "eewwwwws !"
You can't tell me animals can't think. They just don't use words and you can't tell when they're laughing.
