Odisha zoo will display Ramu the elephant's skeleton

The Odisha Forest Department will exhume the skeleton of the late elephant Ramu and display it at Nandankanan Zoo for educational purposes. Ramu, known as a "gentle giant," was electrocuted last August and buried in Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary. The department plans to use an excavator to retrieve the decomposed remains and reassemble the skeleton for public viewing. Ramu was considered the largest elephant in the state and was known for his gentle nature. The display aims to educate visitors about elephants and preserve the memory of this iconic animal.
