Why Gayatri(87) Bannerghatta zoo’s blind and deaf elephant spends her nights in the forest

Gayatri, an 87-year-old zoo elephant is a resident at the Bannerghatta Biological Park in Bengaluru. With her advanced age, she faces many problems that most senior citizens face. Her eyesight fails her and her hearing is not what it used to be but yet, she looks forward to a romp in the forest at night. Once a captive elephant, Gayatri now has a new shot at life thanks to an one-of-a-kind initiative for 24 elephants at the park.
