Bhogeshwara, the elephant with the longest tusks among Asian elephants is no more. The jumbo was found dead in the Gundre forest range on Saturday. The gentle giant was a regular sight for tourists, which used to give darshan in the backwaters of Kabini. 'Bhogeshwara' was known as Kabini Shaktimaan. This Shaktimaan was approximately 60-years-old and had about four feet long ivory. The forest department said that the elephant had died due to age-related issues.
