The white elephant turned "rogue"

Grafik

Bildunterschrift: "Elephants that, naturally vicious, have refused to associate with the herd, or that have been detached from their former companions in search of fresh alliances, or elephants escaping from captivity, unable to rejoin their former herd and excluded from any other, become, what, from their vicious propensities and predatory habits, are called 'ROGUES' in Ceylon. They spend their time in marauding, and will even break through fences without fear; by day generally seeking concealment, but often prowling about and attacking travellers, who run the utmost risk from their assaults. ** It is probable that this hostility to man is the reslut of the enmity engendered by measures adopted as a means of protection." - Condensed from Sir J. Emerson Tennant's Work on the Wild Elephant
