Anand Mahindra shares rare wild elephant herd video viral

Madikeri, May 19: A video of a herd of elephants roaming the coffee plantation of industrialist Anand Mahindra's family in Kodagu district, known as the land of coffee, went viral on social media on Saturday.

Mahindra & Mahindra Chairman Anand Mahindra himself shared a video of a group of elephants walking calmly and majestically through the estate premises on Saturday morning. He wrote that the scene reflects the coexistence of nature and human habitation. In his post, he said, "We consider our family's coffee plantation in Kodagu as a heritage property. It is managed by my younger sister." He described the herd of elephants moving very calmly from one gate of the estate to the other.

In a video shared by Anand Mahindra, the elephants are seen moving from the Arabica coffee plantation to the Robusta plantation. He humorously described the occasion as the “invasion of the grand guests.” This is not a new phenomenon caused by encroachment on wildlife habitat. These grand visitors have been coming to occupy the jackfruit trees that have grown there for decades. But this time they are walking through the main gates with such confidence that it feels like we have officially invited them for tea and snacks. They know that the plantation has always been theirs and we are just temporary tenants, he posted on X (formerly Twitter). A 9-second video of around 15 to 20 elephants crossing a tar road from one plantation to another, posted at 6 pm, has garnered over 35,000 views in just two hours.

This rare sight has gone viral on social media and is receiving a lot of appreciation from netizens. The video is drawing attention as a beautiful example of the coexistence between nature and humans.
