National Park guide Aimie Asrol was running late and had to explain his tardiness to his boss.“I’m sorry, boss, I’ll be a little late to work. She is angry. Look - she’s blocking the road, I can’t pass.”The “she” he was referring to was a female elephant who was taking a stroll down the middle of the road with a calf.Aimie and his companion had been driving behind them for some time but found no opportunity to overtake the duo.
Change in environment, elephant behaviourElephant encounters used to be rare, even with villages on forest fringes. The recent decade witnessed surges in human-elephant encounters - the elephants have undergone behavioural changes to adapt to human activity and their environment.For example, cars and engine noises, headlights, or even petrol fumes used to terrify wild elephants but the elephants today would sit by the roads, unfazed by passing cars.
