Transcript of Sad story-of-an-elephant
Humans shot a bullet
in the head of this
Elephant but what he
gave in return will
bring tears in your
eyesN ETMARKERS
It’s been almost 2 months, an elephant
found himself in a trouble, but the
good thing is that he was knowing
what he should do to get rid of it. In
the month of June, an Elephant in the
Mana Pools National Park in
Zimbabwe was shot by a bullet in his
head. However, he survived and lived
with his would for a couple of weeks.
The shot was clearly visible as it made
a prominent hole in his head.

As soon as the news circulated, the veterinarians
from AWARE ( Animal and Wildlife Area Research
and Rehabilitation Trust), rushed to find the
injured elephant. It was understandable that the
elephant must be in a bad situation and so
immediate medical assistance was mandatory at
that point of time. Although, it’s not at all easy to
find out an elephant from that park , but
surprisingly the team found the elephant without
much searching. But do you know how?The
elephant in order to draw attention and to seek
medical assistance was seen saying a big HI by
lifting his trunk. As per the quote mentioned on N ETMARKERS
The elephant, named Pretty Boy was a
gentle elephant and even with a bullet
in his head was quite and calm. Instead
of showing aggressive signs, he was
calm and co-operating fully with the
veterinarians to let him tranquilize and
give medical assistance. It was like the
humans gave him a bullet and in return
he was gentle enough to say Hi and let
them do their task without any problem.N ETMARKERS
The team because of Pretty Boy’s
cooperation was able to examine him
and patch up the wound to let him go
freely in the nature. The gentleness of
this elephant was noticed by everyone
and even Dr. Lisa Marabini, the director
of AWARE mentioned about about it.

The next morning after the surgery, she
mentioned, that she was surprised along
with the other team members that although
he was in pain, he let everyone come closer
to him with no signs of aggression at all.
She gave him the right compliment- “Perfect
Gentleman”. We totally agree with her
complement.
N ETMARKERS
Thanks to the team
members of AWARE
that they are at least
setting a good
example of humans in
front of this Perfect Gentleman.
