Captive elephant dies of health ailments at Theppakadu camp
The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 11, 2025
A 54-year-old captive elephant died of health ailments at the Theppakadu Elephant Camp in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve early on Wednesday.
The dead tusker, Santhosh, was characterized by his long tusks, and was one of the few captive elephants allowed to graze freely in the camp at night.
MTR deputy director C Vidya said, "Santhosh was born in the Theppakadu Elephant Camp on August 15, 1971. Of late, he suffered from chronic dentine issues, probably due to the heavy tusks. If his caretaker had not trimmed Santhosh's tusks on a regular basis, he would have had the longest tusks in Asia."
