Bommi and Raghu are far from any random pachyderm as they were the famous jumbos featured in the Oscar-winning documentary film — “The Elephant Whisperers.” The story of “The Elephant Whisperers” narrates the doleful tale of a couple who were given an orphaned elephant, Raghu, to look after. The story follows Raghu’s recovery and survival, weaving a beautiful tale of unconditional love and bond between the couple and the pachyderm.
The video was captioned, “No trip is complete to Nilgiris without meeting Bommi and Raghu, who are growing up fast at our Theppakadu elephant camp under the loving care of our committed mahouts and cavadys. Take your kids this summer to Mudumalai to meet these beautiful young elephants.” Officer Sahu can be seen feeding sugarcane sticks to the adorable calves.Related Stories
