Award winning wildlife photographer Senthil Kumaran’s documentation of the gentle giants
The Hindu
Two decades ago when Senthil Kumaran was in school, he read about a wild elephant on the rampage in villages of Wayanad, Kerala.
In 1998, the nine feet tall rogue makhna (male elephant without tusk) killed 23 villagers and was eventually captured by the Forest Department, then sent for rehabilitation at Mudumalai Elephant Camp. He was christened Moorthy after the veterinarian at Mudumalai, Dr A Krishnamurthy.
