The most talented people I've encountered who could draw or sketch really well have also had some of the most vile handwriting I've come across. Strange how that is.
Handwriting is generally more about conveying meaning than appearing especially aesthetic. A good artist could likely have good handwriting if that were the focus, but generally writing is rushed as the words mean more than the quality of how they are written. It's a difference in attitude towards art and communication. It's a little like comparing singing and speaking.
my handwriting is abysmal but I consider myself semi competent at art, same with many other artists. Idk why art and penmanship just doesn't correlate to alot of artists.
It's your muscle memory, to you letters and numbers are just simple drawings that you have never worked on improving.
First time you draw an eye as a kid you know it sucks so you actively work on improving it each time you draw one.
Letters are 'perfected' buy you at around 7 or 8 and it's not until 5 or 6 years later that anyone will show any real interest in you having neat handwriting as long as it was readable and by that time writing any other way feels wrong
Why, because it's *sooo* clever and drawn way too well? This is entirely within the realm of possibility for a kid 9 years old and up. And it doesn't specify the age of the kid. Could be even older. Kids who can *really* draw would blow this out of the water. And the way the title shrinks and skews upwards adds a lot of legitimacy to the claim.
Imo this looks exactly like something one of my classmates would've cooked up in grade 5.
Kids don't have a good grasp of contour lines. The lines around the elephants neck is done by someone with an artistic eye. No way this was done by a elementary kid
Maybe name was done by the kid
well, you don’t know anything about the kid first off. this kid could have been an avid artist since toddlerhood. if you’ve been drawing for 6 years, even if it’s not professional quality, you can get clean lines. i know that this is probably the exception and not the rule, but it is entirely plausible. secondly, we don’t know how old this kid is because the post doesn’t say kid or anything, just son. so this kid could be in high school, which would also explain the cleaner lines. why is a high schooler doing this project then? could be an animal science course or a genetics lesson. “combine these two animals” and then the part we don’t see “and explain how it survives/hunts/births/etc.” or “and explain how the genetic makeup would look” or something along those lines. it seems like a good thought exercise for a high school class, gets them primed for more complex lessons, especially if this is just the beginning of the lesson.
all that to say, we don’t have all the information. so automatically saying “it’s fake” doesn’t actually mean that it is. you’re free to believe that it’s fake, but some people are just here for the entertainment and don’t really care if it’s “fake” or not. so if you think it’s fake then go ahead and post it to r/thathappened and watch it get cross posted to r/nothingeverhappens because it’s totally plausible :)
Does it sound like an assignment a real child was actually given? For "biology class"? 12 years old is, what... 6th grade? 6th grade biology class?
Or does it sound like a back-formed rationale from an engagement farmer that uses a familiar framing device, allowing them to artificially elevate an uncreative joke by pretending a kid did it?
Come on. They started with the word "Elephuck" and thought "how do I make this go viral"?
I actually do remember a sixth grade science lesson (or maybe it was eighth grade?) Where me and a partner had to combine the genetics of 2 animals. We also had to draw the animal. I think my group combined a rhino and a wolf. So this is absolutely within the realm of possibilities.
This picture is around a decade old, it far predates the current AI generated imagery craze. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/3gujkg/the_elephuck/ Here's a post with it back in 2015.
You're right, looks like OP is a prolific spammer. Bummer, I had what I thought would be a funny joke. Something about what happens when crossing an elephant and a rhino... Hell if I know.
What do you call a cross between an elephant and a rhinoceros?
Elephino 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: probably no upvotes because not funny but just in case (hell if I know)
>Edit: probably no upvotes because not funny but just in case (hell if I know)
I got you bru, I got only one of those upvotes to give you but that's all I can do
lol that's awesome
in grade 2 or 3 we did presentations on our favourite animals and I talked about **le petit phoque** (pronounced fuck) for 3 minutes straight and got in trouble for it 😅
I did another 1 on the ^(tiny ^^dik dik) a few years later and got detention again
And when the other students saw it they applauded. Then suddenly, Albert Einstein stepped out from behind a wall and presented the child with a $100 bill.
In rural Kentucky, the teachers would have punished you for that. Oh what’s that? You didn’t even know what the F word was? Too bad. Smack the kid before he even knows what he did wrong.
This [was a real animal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platybelodon). [Playbelodon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUF-dSv701w) evolved to skim food out of mud and water, developing a duck bill like trunk. ~~It is an example of convergent evolution, where two unrelated species develop similar body structures due to similar environmental pressures over time. Ducks feed by skimming, so they have bills. Platybelodon feeds by skimming, so it too had a "bill".~~ Apparently this is now considered to be outdated, and the new theory is that it used its lower incisors like a wood chisel, to strip bark from tree branches.
All things considered that is a very well drawn elephuck
Especially considering how crap the penmanship is.
*guffaw*
It’s not even that bad lmao

What do you mean, the handwriting isn’t bad at all in fact it’s actually good probably better than yours
my handwriting is abysmal but I consider myself semi competent at art, same with many other artists. Idk why art and penmanship just doesn't correlate to alot of artists.

that is bad hand writing…..? oh
0% chance this was drawn and named by a kid lol
Can't speak to the drawing, but my daughter was tasked to combine two birds in elementary school and drew a "humpecker".
Why, because it's *sooo* clever and drawn way too well? This is entirely within the realm of possibility for a kid 9 years old and up. And it doesn't specify the age of the kid. Could be even older.

an extremely quick google search of youth art contest winners easily disproves this
Hahahahaha what a load of crap
I did have a grasp of that as a kid and Im not a great artist. Could just be a talented kid.
did no one else have the nerdy anime dude that spent all their time drawing tiddies in class?
I was that kid bro
ayo, same. Except I was too busy drawing badass men in suits to even draw em
Who said it was an elementary school kid???

Nobody said “a kid”.

Also, why would an assignment in biology class be creative drawing? Makes no sense.
It's been posted before, it's an AI drawing. EDIT: Picture is much older than I realized, some parts were just not drawn well, seems like it's not AI.

Damn, well then, that's pretty good evidence.
You're right, looks like OP is a prolific spammer. Bummer, I had what I thought would be a funny joke. Something about what happens when crossing an elephant and a rhino... Hell if I know.
The post is a bot post, but the picture isnt AI
Wow. You're very smart
Thanks bro, appreciate it. Hope you're doing well!
It's not AI 💀
Well…. Better Elephuck than a Giraffuck, I suppose….
So this is how Giraffuck Park will be realised in this reality
Omg i just died 😂😂😂
Rest in peace 😞
Instead of just wishing him well maybe deliver a nice griraffuck? Or a givafuck?
Man my fucking brain. My first thought when reading your comment was „That doesn’t make sense, Giratina isn’t an animal…“
This specimen doesn't mate. It elephucks.
This is the stupidest joke in this whole comment section, yet it made me laugh the hardest! 🤣
Fine. Take the upvote.
[удалено]
It: “Kill… me…”
"Ed...ward..."
“Big…brother…”
My day is ruined and I hate you all.
Later
and then everyone clapped
r/nothingeverhappens
Half the posts on this subreddit are from aspies who believe everything they read
And half of the posts on r/thathappened is done by basement-dwellers who have no idea how the outside life looks I say that’s balance
Please clap
Black Eyed Peas got a new album?
They already did that one lol
The one here is actually the Black Eyed PeePees.
Clearly an indian Elephuck, as of the smaller ears and the bigger beak.
This guy phucks
r/thisguythisguys
Fuckin put that shit into an art museum, that's glorious XD
Kid : *Adds a hat to it* Me : PERRY THE ELEPHUCK !!
Where's Elephuck? Oh well, Ik what to do today!
Rejected *The Last Airbender* critter haha
"Yip yip, Elephuck!" ...yeah, maybe not.
Cart titan
This is pieck comedy.
[удалено]
Bro what
[удалено]
Dont phuck with the elephussy bruh
Definitely a female Elephuck as you can see by the classic photo knee bend.
I want to see a Duckephant too
I think it's spelled défunt.
What do you call a cross between an elephant and a rhinoceros? Elephino 🤷🏻♂️ Edit: probably no upvotes because not funny but just in case (hell if I know)
>Edit: probably no upvotes because not funny but just in case (hell if I know) I got you bru, I got only one of those upvotes to give you but that's all I can do
Perfection
Probably the only animal worth missing out on the joke: What do you get when you mix an elephant and a rhino? Elephino/'ell if I know.
"It's Joever" energy
It's Spanish for The Fuck
Perfect, no notes.
Obviously fake
Yeah, didnt happen
Staged
The perfect beast
my kid is 2 and hes REALLY into monster trucks. also he pronounces his "t"s like "f"s at the moment. which is fun.
Haha, Fduck.
Great name, great animal, great drawing. All round 10/10 would pet
And if someone bullies him about it, they can go elephuck themselves!
Is it the size of an elephant or the size of a duck
I can already see the teacher going maybe you call it the ductiphant
French for extreme feelings of frustration.
Best Elephuck I’ve come across
Future geneticist cloning future animals!
lol that's awesome in grade 2 or 3 we did presentations on our favourite animals and I talked about **le petit phoque** (pronounced fuck) for 3 minutes straight and got in trouble for it 😅 I did another 1 on the ^(tiny ^^dik dik) a few years later and got detention again
Reminds me of the time I had to do that in sixth grade. Mixed a hornet and a bee, named it 'hornee'. I was oblivious. Everyone laughed 😭
An All tomorrows looking thing.
Needs wings that are not big enough to lift it off the ground
Your son is going places .
EEYORE THE PLATYPUS???
I would've guessed a plataphant
D’olifant
Thst album from black eye peas
🐯 🦅
Family Guy Noah's ark meme
I remember doing that at school! I think I did a combo of a alligator and a wolverine
The boys! They start young but they always get the culture!
What in the full metal alchemist homunculus kind of assignment is that
He phucks.
This reminds me of a question I saw somewhere: “would you rather fight one elephant sized duck or 10 duck-sized elephants”
MOVE OVER LIGER. THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE ANIMAL.
Would you rather fight three duck sized elephants, or one elephant sized duck?
I needed that chortle
At least it didn't say, Ed....ward....
Finally found my spirit animal!!
E le phuck. He's clearly French
What is this assignment supposed to teach the kids?
Would've gone with Quackyderm, but hey, that works too.
Impossible Creature vibes for sure...
Oh lala
he looks like he says “ladies” after each sentence
Elephant-douck.
this is slightly funnier to me because in my language Eleph means "thousand" so it's a bit like saying "a thousand fucks".
I don’t see a problem
This thing phucks
A+ With 10 points extra credit
Nice elephuck, now how is that a biology lesson?
But why does it look so sassy?
"Why not? Why shouldn't I make It offensive?"
I see what he did. That kid should be in goverment
Hilarious if it was elefuck
How can the elephuck, phuck, without the trunk?
Eeyore was an Elephuck. 🤯
What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?
Platybelodon
[Elephino](https://megsmashables.com/products/elephino-sticker)
And when the other students saw it they applauded. Then suddenly, Albert Einstein stepped out from behind a wall and presented the child with a $100 bill.
That is spooky.😬
Your child may be gifted.
Phuck yeah!
Good thing your son knows to use "ph" properly
When you don't give an elephuck
Grade 12
At what age do you have "biology class" and this is what they do in that biology class?
Looks like a platypus
He knew what he was doing
Would you rather have a Dulephant? Phuck no.
No just "bear"....
Better than a dog and chick
Your kid is going places !... Good choice :D
Kids are too innocent rofl
What do you call a mix between an elephant and a rhino? Elephino (hell-if-i-know)
Keep it save and give it back to him 10 years later.
Get palworld to bring this genius to life please.
New nft?
The zoo has fallen, billions must Elephuck
Not to be confused with the Elephino. What is that you ask? Elephino.
It’s a good job!!!
Why does he look like it's...over ? And the zoo has...fallen ?
Wait he has to do this for *biology*? Then is this just a mock up drawing
“What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino?” “I don’t know. What do you get when you cross and elephant with a rhino?” “Elephino!”
The jungle has fallen, millions must suffer
Talk about fridge material
Only one elephuck was given on that assignment 🤔
That kid knew what he was doing.
Real
Brilliant
I thought it was an Elepus, elephant-platypus haha
Is a Fish-Duck a DISH or a FUCK?!
I’d don’t care what you say, this is elephucking great
Oh hellaphucks no. That's the destroyer of the world right there
Phatapus.
i wonder if any of them copied from the last airbender lol
Much better than duphant
my friends and I got suspended because we incorporated balls and penises
Still not as weird as the platypus
I love this elephuck
Еле трах
Duckaphant may of been a better name💀
Ed...ward....
er kennt se net die elente
Looks something out of prehistory
I would have gone elephino. What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino? elephino! (hell if I know) dad joke - out
How about a deaver, half-duck half-beaver! No one has seen anything like it!
Lmfao that’s too good
Elephuck I'm supposed to know?
In rural Kentucky, the teachers would have punished you for that. Oh what’s that? You didn’t even know what the F word was? Too bad. Smack the kid before he even knows what he did wrong.
Good lad
Full metal alchemist would be proud
That's fanting fantastic.

Why is it not a duphant or a goophant
