Coimbatore:
More than a year after being captured in November, 2019, the elephant has been trained to become a âkumkiâ. Finally, the majestic âArisi Rajaâ walked out of the âkrallâ from Varagaliyar elephant camp in Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) on Tuesday.
âThe elephant has learnt to be good and obeys the commands of the mahout. Still, one thing the elephant refuses to change is its likeness towards rice,â said N Naveen Kumar Ulanthy Forest Range Officer. The jumbo has also been allowed to mingle with other camp elephants.
