Comments / pictures

One “rogue” elephant was captured in 2004 and re-housed in the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre after causing high levels of crop and property damage and posing a direct threat to the safety of villagers. The animal was found in a palm-oil plantation in Sihanoukville province and was thought to have originated from Bokor National Park nearby. Upon closer inspection it was discovered that a huge metal spike in the animals foot was the cause of the rampage, and after its removal the elephant made a full recovery in captivity.

The bull elephant was Sambat, which I captured with the head FA vet, Nhim Thy and then took up the Elephants d'Angkor, though cannot remember the year. FA sent him to Korea with a female from Ratanakiri.
