Kandula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kandula is a famous elephant mentioned in the Mahavamsa by Mahanama.
When King Duttagamani (101 - 77 BC) was born, many gifts were said to have appeared spontaneously, among them a fine elephant who was found by a fisherman named Kandula. The elephant was named for its finder and became the companion of Duttagamani, serving as his mount during the wars that led to the unification of Sri Lanka.
An Asian Elephant born in 2001 at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. was named after Kandula. He is only the second Asian elephant to be conceived by artificial insemination.
