  • Gayatri, an 87-year-old zoo elephant is a resident at the Bannerghatta Biological Park in Bengaluru. With her advanced age, she faces many problems that most senior citizens face.Her eyesight fails her and her hearing is not what it used to be but yet, she looks forward to a romp in the forest at night. Once a captive elephant, Gayatri now has a new shot at life thanks to an one-of-a-kind initiative for 24 elephants at the park.

    Gayatri, looks 67 than 87-year-old. She appears to look so young despite once being a hardworking elephant. Maybe now she bares the last pair of teeth so handlers must be careful what she eats! At 87 Gayatri must be one of the oldest captive Asian elephants alive . May she have a longer, healthier life. ❤🙏

    Wonderful manner to treat these gentle giants. Fully social life, (they can crack up, without this), regular food and attention.
    Very many of the "temple" elephants lead a miserable life. Sometimes knowingly and sometimes in ignorance.
    Most of the elephants in temples are kept most of the 24 hrs on a hard, substance, that does not give. Generally, granite. In the wild most of their time, they spend in the open, which is soil. And soft. Which their heavy bodies need to act as a shock observer. Whereas, in captivity the keepers generally make the flooring of their sheds in concrete. Why? Maintainance is easier. Whereas actually standing on these rock hard surfaces invariably lead to spondilitis or knee problems. And then those long walks on macadamised roads. That, for them is pure torture.
    Why, once in Srirangam, i saw a female eating good sized laddoos by the score. Sure target to diabetes!
    They are one of the most social animals, ever. Lonliness kills them. One of the TN CM,s very kindly made them spend time, once a year, in elephant camps. Definately more condusive to a healthy period than their normal lifes. The mahouts, too get to know how to look after them in a better manner.
    This beautiful giant for sure needs a better life.
    Kudos to Karnataka state to look after them in such a great manner.
    Hope this catches on throughout our country.
    Wish them well.

      They explained in the video. Chain is to slow down their movement so that they don't wander too far away during night like 20/30 kms away and chain sound helps mahout to find them. Else its difficult to track elephants in thick jungle . Despite their size elephants can be very quiet.
