Hamsa Raj
Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) at
Kerala unspecified location in India

Hamsa Raj was born wild 1952 at India unspecified location.

The only two elephants whose deaths were not linked to festivals were the oldest elephants; Hansraj (65), and Kannamkulangara Sasi (75). At death, they were more Skeleton than flesh, a clear hint that they died of hunger and some mysterious disease.
