Summary "The Wild Elephant and the Method of Capturing and Taming it in Ceylon" by Sir J. Emerson Tennent is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the structure, habits, and social behavior of wild elephants in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), as well as methods of capturing and taming these majestic creatures. It provides insights into the species' characteristics, the ecological role they play, and the historical context of their management in Ceylon. At the start of the text, the author shares his personal observations during his time in Ceylon, highlighting the prevalence of elephants across the island and their diminishing numbers due to various factors, including hunting and habitat loss. Tennent emphasizes the unique anatomical features of Ceylonese elephants—such as the rarity of tusks—and discusses their behavior and interactions within herds. He sets the stage for subsequent chapters that will delve into methods of capture and training, supported by anecdotes and empirical research on the treatment of these animals in both wild and domesticated settings.
