I chose this particular story for my bizarre beat because I figured we all needed to hear a fun story instead of another depressing story on Japan...
This story is interesting AND adorable. Its is about testing the itellegence of elephants and their abilities towork together. The elephants in the study were smart enough to work as a team but one was even smart enough to cheat.
The lead for this story really works in my opinion. It is very playful, much like the story itself. There is no need to get down to the hard facts in the begining.
The news value this story contains is purely novelty. There is nothing really profound or impactful. Its just a fun novelty story.
As far as follow up on this story goes, I'm not sure. Maybe more on how fast the elephants picked up the skill or how far along in the study did the one elephant learn to cheat?
