Tusker

Spotted in the heart of Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, this wild tusker (Elephas maximus indicus) stands as a magnificent symbol of India’s wilderness. With its towering frame, impressive tusks, and calm yet powerful presence, it embodies the raw beauty of Wayanad’s forests.

Wild tuskers roam dense forests in herds, playing a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem. Witnessing one in Muthanga, moving gracefully through the greenery, was a humbling reminder of nature’s grandeur and strength.
