He was un doubtedly the most admired,feared and photographed elephant of bandipur.My favorite guy.He had a single tusk and always used to patrol the roads.He was popularly known as ''Highway patrol'', ''Ontikombu'' - meaning single tusk etc. Aged about 35 to 40 he was a great thrill to watch.Unfortunately, He was a victim of mankind's greed.poachers have shot him dead near the gopalswamy hills and have taken away the only tusk he had.As a homage to him and many such elephants we have lost, i present my collection of videos of this gracefull gaint. These animals need our sympathy but, more importantly, they need our proactive support in every way we can to ensure their survival.Please introspect as to in what way you can be of help ,be it direct or indirect in ensuring that such unfortunate incidents do not continue. Things can change only when we belive that ''WE ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM IF WE ARE NOT A PART OF THE SOLUTION'' and act accordingly.Thank you.

  • @mayukhc2005 I am planning a travel to wayanad. What can i expect to see on the way (Bandipur Route)

  • Yes this is the single tuskar in bandipur this is known for killing over 3 peoples and finally this has been shot dead by tamil nadu forest department..

  • I thought he would of got shot or just drop dead in this video. But nooo

  • To kill such a big beautiful creature for ONE f*****g tusk makes me so mad. Its bad to kill AT ALL, but look at him, to kill him for that is sick. If i could seriously make a difference in helping with animal protection in sum way, i'd give up my life here in UK & go where it is necessary to help, i would!!

  • Really makes your heart weep after seeing this video,,just felt very bad,,such a beautiful creature and human greed never ends..

  • what's this piano piece ?

  • God damn it....

  • Be at Ghanesh's side.....

  • Hey BTW to all you guys who loved Wontikombu. He did die of a bullet injury, but died several months after. I lived in Bandipur for nearly five years so I know. If only you guys could see. He had died far up on one of the hills, near a small water hole, below a huge banyan tree. But alas he had a lot of suffering before he departed. God bless his soul. He pounded two humans before he departed.

  • Two minutes and 10 seconds... Still, no killshot?

    WASTE.

    OF.

    TIME.

    haters gonna hate.
