Koutch in Menagerie du Paris Jardin des Plantes


L'Éléphant d'Asie mâle, Koutch, est un don du Dr Hahn, qui l'avait, reçu en cadeau du roi de Cambodge; nous le possédons depuis le 28 octobre 1894: il avait 4 ans environ et, ne pesait que 256 kilogrammes: il mesurait 1 m. 12 et il a actuellement 1 m. 83. C'est le plus intelligent de tous nos Éléphants: il sait ouvrir les crémones des portes, dévisser les boulons qui les retiennent, et il exige de ses gardiens une surveillance continuelle.

Translation by google:

This is the most intelligent of all our elephants: he knows how to open doors espagnolettes, unscrew the bolts that hold them, and it requires continuous monitoring by his guards.
