[1] The trainers here train the baby elephants which get separated from their herd, or are found wounded or roaming in the forest.
Experienced trainers, using their systematic training methods, tame the baby elephants.
The major elephant capturing locations include Mundom Moozhy, Mannarappara and Thura.
The elephant calves estranged from the herd and found lost in the forest are brought here and are provided with medical facilities and proper care.
