A few months ago I was fortunate enough to spend time with Rajan – the world’s last ocean swimming elephant. I spent days following him and his Mahout (caretaker) around one of the islands in the Andamans. Nazroo and Rajan have been together for 30 years and have a remarkable bond. I’m incredibly jealous actually as having a connection with such an intelligent animal must be truly amazing. I wasn’t aware of it when I first met Rajan how incredible his story was. As I asked more questions the more I became intrigued. I won’t go through too much detail as my experience with Rajan was run by the BBC. To listen to the interview click here.
