© Jody McDonald STORY The Last of His Kind


This is Rajan. He is a 60yr old Asian elephant and he is the last of his kind. He was brought to the Andaman Islands for logging. He along with a small group of about 10 elephants were brutally forced to learn how to swim in the ocean so that they could bring logged trees to nearby boats and then eventually swim on to the next island. When logging became banned in 2002 Rajan was out of a job.


He has been living out his days on one of the Andaman Islands where I caught up with him and his Majout (caretaker) named Nazroo who have been together for 30yrs. They have an incredible bond and it was amazing to share some time with them. When he dies we will probably never see an ocean swimming elephant again.
