The website Elephant Encyclopedia has been online since 1995 and is owned, programmed and managed by elephant trainer
Dan Koehl
, Stockholm, Sweden. Since 2006, it comprises the world's largest
Research
database on individual elephants (and possibly on individual animals from a single
Species
overall). Cited by journalists, organisations and in scientific works, it has notably figured in regard to elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus and to evolution of
Cancer
suppression.(Wikipedia)
It is in no way a finished and complete documentation, but has reached a level where at least a visitor can get a rough overview of the captive population of elephants in history and today, as well as insight into elephantine specific medical issues.
The creation of the website in 1995 was inspired by the American Israeli zoologist,
evolutionary biologist and an elephant specialist, late Dr Jeheskiel "Hezy" Shoshani, founder of The Elephant
Research
Foundation, who was also the editor for the the publication
Elephant
during a time, when less publications were written and easy to read and assimilate for elephant interested persons. Hezy not only inspired me, but also voluntarily helped me start the website and answer some of the FAQ questions from the website visitors, which I felt needed to be answered by a scientist. In order to create a network, the Elephant Listserver (elephant-@listserver.wineasy.se) became a valuable tool for exchange of information.
Unfortunately Hezy Shoshani was killed in a terrorism-linked explosion in a public minibus in
Ethiopia in 2008, and the elephant world lost a most creative force and advocate of elephant
Conservation
