To all those complaining about this elephant's chains. Please understand all animals, tamed from the wild or bred to be domesticated still have free will and instinct. Harnesses and restraints are necessary for the animal's safety and public safety. the fabric or leather harnesses or collars used on animals like horses will not work on a bull elephant. He has the strength to destroy small buildings and cars if he wanted. This animal is well fed, trained and cared for. He is a working animal. There is a fine line between captivity and animal work and abuse. This animals life experience is most likely far from abusive.

Some context: Super Tusker is a male bull elephant with tusks that weigh over 100lbs (45kgs) each. Tusks of that size are usually so long that they scrape along the ground when the elephant walks. Only bulls can be Super Tuskers, but there are female elephants with huge tusks that don't quite reach 100lbs.

I thought only Africa had them as Indian elephants always look like dwarfs compared to our African elephants. Well done guys. This is a proper elephant seen in Asia at last. Alexander the Great’s men must have faces a kind of these Elephants like the Romans did in Europe when Carthaginian Africans led by Hannibal took the elephants Calvary to cross the Alps and almost destroyed Rome. Those were the age of men. No guns. Men and beasts united on the battle fields of glory.
