You may have heard several terms to describe elephants. However, this video shared by BSF India shows elephants being referred to in a completely different way. It may leave you surprised and put a smile on your face.
The video shows a herd of elephants crossing a fence. While the elephants go about their way, the Sentry on duty announces their entry to warn others and allow the animals easy passage.
“Charlie 39 to control, Mama aa raha hai, chhota ya bada victor koi bhi abhi mat bhejna… Sentry on duty announcing entry of a herd of elephants, across fence,” says the caption posted along with the video. “Free roaming Gajraj (respectfully called ‘Mama’) rule the jungles along international boundary in Garo hills Meghalaya,” the tweet says further.
