Elephants and mahouts are known to have a very special and close relationship especially because the latter takes care of the animal and spend most of their time with each other. In an attempt to help understand the behaviour of elephants better, the mahouts of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve will now share their experience of handling the pachyderms with the authorities for help in the future.
Chief conservator of forests and field director, Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR), Sanjay Kumar Pathak has asked mahouts of Dudhwa Tiger reserve (DTR) to share their experiences while handling elephants in order to create an offline record of their knowledge.
Pathak said, "Mahouts are always very close to their elephants, keeping tabs on their movement, health, behaviour and even on their sentiments and response to circumstances. Even elephants, who follow the commands of their mahouts, develop an emotional bonding with them."
