A photo of a Sri Lankan Elephant — not this animal

Biso was an older female of Yala and the namesake of the Biso group, a herd of about 20–25 elephants studied by the Centre for Conservation and Research. The herd once ranged outside Yala in the dry season until an electric fence built in 2005 cut off those feeding areas. Biso has not been seen since 2009, and researchers say she may no longer be alive.
