Definitely one of the smartest and the most adorable of creatures. And they are known to have great memories too as with the saying "an elephant never forgets"... so this one must have remembered something nice :D

elephants have a very high emotional intelligence. Won't be surprised if it is really laughing. I love elephants. rephrased my comment to correct a typo.
