Ruby , the artist , is an Asian elephant . She is 17 years old. She lives in the zoo. Ruby has produced about 100 paintings since last year. She has made more than $40,000 for the zoo. Zoo leaders say Ruby first showed the talent(才能) about four years ago. Zoo workers watched her make the marks (线条)in the sand with her trunk象鼻). She rubbed(擦掉) out the marks, then made the new ones. The zoo worker gave her brushes and paints(颜料). Soon Ruby was painting pictures. Newspaper reporters wrote about Ruby, then people asked about buying her pictures. And in this way she made a lot of money for the zoo by painting.

This is how Ruby does the paintings. A zoo worker hold different colour paints. Ruby touches the colours she wants. Then the worker gives her brushes with the chosen colours in her trunk and Ruby begins painting.
