Ponsawan is the landmine victim elephant, see how much she was in pain before she arrived Elephant Nature Park.
Eight days prior to her injury she had been working in the deep jungle, and at night she would forage for food. The day of the injury, her mahout had just left her maybe a half hour past days end, and he then heard a loud explosion and the screaming of his elephant roaring in pain. The mahout ran back to see her and he saw Ponsawan stand up and falling down in the midst of settling dust. She was in pain and shock. When the dust settled, the mahout began to think that, if he left her in the jungle she will die surely. So he took the risk and started to walk her back into the village. It was a slow and arduous journey.
