Sambat was born wild 1990.
One “rogue” elephant was captured in 2004 and re-housed in the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre after causing high levels of crop and property damage and posing a direct threat to the safety of villagers. The animal was found in a palm-oil plantation in Sihanoukville province and was thought to have originated from Bokor National Park nearby. Upon closer inspection it was discovered that a huge metal spike in the animals foot was the cause of the rampage, and after its removal the elephant made a full recovery in captivity. Current status of elephants in Cambodia, by Maltby & Bourchier (2011), Gajah nr 35, 2012. (Journal of the IUCN/SSC Asian Elephant Specialist Group) The bull elephant was Sambat, which I captured with the head FA vet, Nhim Thy and then took up the Elephants d'Angkor, though cannot remember the year. FA sent him to Korea with a female from Ratanakiri. Nick Marx, Phnom Tamao
