Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history, techniques, and challenges of elephant catching in Ceylon, where native elephant catchers, known as Pannikkans, have practiced the art for centuries using nooses and without the aid of tamed elephants. Once regulated by the Dutch government, the profession has dwindled under British rule, with elephant catchers burdened by debt and the indigenous knowledge fading. Despite their traditional reliance on religious customs, the Pannikkans combine ancient techniques with their understanding of elephant behavior to capture these magnificent creatures. Through vivid descriptions and historical insights, this book unveils the intricate relationship between humans and elephants in Ceylon, highlighting the endangered legacy of these skilled hunters and their unique approach to wildlife management.
