In 1998, foresters went all out to capture a tuskless male elephant in the Nilgiris

The elephant killed 22 people, mostly in Kerala, and was to have been shot dead there. But it entered the Tamil Nadu forests. Here, it was decided to capture and rehabilitate it. A 40-member team was put in charge of the task, and it spent two months in the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, especially in the Gudalur forests, to capture the elephant
