With time, Lakhi’s age caught up with her, and she showed signs of slowing down, old injuries got inflamed and she seemed to prefer resting against the mud beds in her enclosure. Late Saturday evening on the 3rd of March, she seemed more weary than usual, and even as her knees buckled under her, Asha and Coco rushed to her side to support her. Asha appeared calm and strong, as if she knew in her own way that this was it – Coco panicked initially, rushing about and running circles around her fallen friend. The team rushed in, the crane was called in to lift her back to her feet and support her – the elephants moved aside and watched, Asha touching them gently as they huddled together. They stood back as the team tried to get her back to her feet, even the younger elephants seemed uncharacteristically calm. Maybe they knew, maybe they realised it was time to let go and had their chance to say their goodbyes, and wanted to let her pass in peace. Lakhi resisted being lifted, as if she too knew her time had come. She let out her final breath and slumped down against the mud bed, eyes shut looking like she was completely at peace. As the team moved away, heartbroken, Asha rumbled loudly from where she was standing, but none of the elephants moved – Coco let out a small wail, and from every enclosure elephants responded softly with rumbles, trumpets and huffs all the way from the bulls to the closerby females like Phoolkali like an orchestra of calm, reassuring solidarity for their fallen friend.

A relatively fast-growing, short-lived, medium-to-tall tree of irregular form. Native to river bottoms, ravines and hillsides. Foliage is very susceptible to phenoxy herbicides. Also called Manitoba maple or ash-leaved maple. The largest tree in North Dakota is 61 feet tall with a canopy spread of 63 feet.
Aspen trees gorw fairly straight and become clear of lower limbs over time. Sometimes called trembling aspen because their leaves tremble in a light breeze due to their flattened petioles. Most extensive native range of any tree in North America. Rapidly recolonizes disturbed sites (after fire, logging, etc.) The largest tree in North Dakota is 70 feet tall with a canopy spread of 39 feet.
A medium to large straight trunked tree reaching 35 to 50 feet in height. Tolerant of wet or dry soil conditions, pH adaptable. Native across the eastern and central United States. Good windbreak and ornamental tree.
A small, roundheaded, low branched tree which may reach a height of 12-16 feet and spread on favorable sites. White to pink flowers followed by small, edible fruit.
Whether you love animals or are just curious about them, Animalogic breaks down what makes different animals unique and amazing. With new episodes released every other week, Animalogic goes in depth into each animal. What do they look like, where do they live, how do they hunt, what’s special about them, how do they make it in this harsh world? Throughout each episode, the host and illustrator bring the animals to life with little known facts about the featured animal, as she illustrates it in the background. Did you know Bonobos can play Pac man? Or that rabbits were used as pregnancy tests? Or that there is a jellyfish, that when sick or injured, can revert to its younger self, essentially making it immortal? The series is hosted by Danielle Dufault, an award-winning scientific illustrator at the Royal Ontario Museum.
