Elephants are pictured here moving towards the Bundagala sanctuary after spending the night around Deegavapiya. The elephants do this migration at nightfall daily and go back to the sanctuary at sunrise.

moda pissa Saturday, 13 April 2013 04:57 PM

Just like the two-legged elephants, they are wandering aimlessly !

Athakolla Saturday, 13 April 2013 03:47 PM

Strange you have a picture of freely roaming elephants, some of the responders thinks of terrorists some thinks of politics. Think of elephants and the environment and how protect our environment . Please support the environmental activists on the Meethotamulla garbage dump issue and other equivalent issues.

S.Peramunagama Saturday, 13 April 2013 09:50 AM

Citizen Perera Saturday, 13 April 2013 09:27 AM

Wild elephants are more reliable , trust worthy than UNP elephants.

Abracadabra Saturday, 13 April 2013 08:42 AM

Super like :-) this is truly a blessed land, minus the people running the show!

Seelawathie Saturday, 13 April 2013 08:39 AM

What a beautiful sight. We should preserve this heritage.

Punny Pellow Saturday, 13 April 2013 02:36 AM

Terrorists?.

Frederick Saturday, 13 April 2013 05:47 AM

I read somewhere about an UNDERPASS which had been constructed for elephants to cross which very soon they had picked up on and were USING Was it in Africa?.Ask the conservationists.
Otherwise with the way Sri Lankans drive there is a national tragedy waiting to happen.

Vincentabraham Saturday, 13 April 2013 05:18 AM

Soon all this will be gone! It will be casinos and hotels! Paradise lost!

Saj Saturday, 13 April 2013 05:08 AM

IVJ Saturday, 13 April 2013 04:28 AM

ANTON Saturday, 13 April 2013 04:03 AM

Cobra Saturday, 13 April 2013 03:48 AM

On their nightly raids on chenas for food! We have reduced these majestic elephants to mere thieves by encroaching and grabbing their land but they know just what to do!!

MagodisThuma Saturday, 13 April 2013 03:08 AM

Where is Ranil ?

meranchi Saturday, 13 April 2013 03:05 AM

beauty full nature....i

PissuGootha Saturday, 13 April 2013 02:51 AM

AT LEAST THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME lAW AND ORDER WITH THESE ELEPHANTS, AND CROSING A ROAD IS EVEN DONE SO PEACEFULLY. wHILE HUMAN IN SRI LANKA ARE BEHAVING WORSE THAN ANIMALS LEAD BY THE POWERFUL. GOD SAVE THE ELEPHANT FROM THE TWO LEGGED IDIOTS IN THE GOVERNEMENT.

Pluto Saturday, 13 April 2013 02:50 AM

Oh! my island the sun. How beautiful.

ANTON Saturday, 13 April 2013 02:42 AM

IN SHORT, UNP IS MOVING TOWARDS THE BUNDAGALA SANCTUARY. SEE THE BEAUTY OF THEIR TEAMWORK WHICH DOES NOT POSSESS IN HUMANS.

ANYWAY EYE- CATCHING PHOTOGRAPHS, LOVELY.
