Scientists have heralded the capacity for art as a key feature that separates humans from other species. But that was before we ever gave an animal a paintbrush. Whether with paws, jaws, hooves or hands, the animal kingdom is filled with creatures able to express themselves through art. To prove it, here's our list of 12 animals that paint.

I am the Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue Spokesdog against puppy mills and homeless dogs. I have dedicated my life to this cause and in doing so I create art by painting with my paws. Painting helps me to overcome my pain of my early days in a puppy mill and also helps with bringing awareness to these issues. http://hhdane.org/mozart

I am a painting dog and am upset that I'm not on your list. You can see some of my work here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v397/MerlinWylt/
