A 33-year-old female elephant called Zar Nan Hla kept by the Myanma Timber Enterprise in Taungup Township of Rakhine State has given birth to one white male elephant at 6:30 am on 23 July 2022. The baby elephant was two feet and five inches in height, three feet and one inch in girth and weighed around 180 pounds at birth.
The title of the baby white elephant is “Rattha Nandaka” and he has pearl-coloured eyes, a plantain branch-shaped back, white hair, a distinctive tail, auspicious plot signs on the skin, reddish-brown or pinkish skin, and five claws on the front legs, and big ears. Therefore, these features conform with seven out of eight characteristics.
Now, the Rattha Nandaka white elephant is five months old, three feet and one inch in height, four feet and seven inches in girth, and weighs 330 pounds. He stays healthy and happy with his mother elephant at the Yadana white elephant hall of Yadana White Elephant Shed in Nay Pyi Taw. He is the one who has been tame by people since he was young and is being trained with the “Peace Human and Elephant Interaction Training” system to become a tamer. — MNA/CT
