Travancore claims to own world’s oldest elephant
The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) in Kerala has applied to the Guinness World Records, claiming that an elephant under its care is the world’s oldest living elephant. The 86-year-old elephant, called Dakshayani, was reportedly gifted to the TDB by the erstwhile royals of Travancore. Currently, the world’s oldest documented elephant is an 85-year-old in Taiwan. \n
