Parakrama, also known as the Siyambalangamuwa Maha Etha, was a tusker of about 35 years from the Galgamuwa scrub forests, famous for his long, thick, even tusks; he appeared on the TV programme Atapattama. In 2010 he was blamed for killing a fisherman at Galgamuwa Wewa, though some locals later doubted it. Wildlife officials captured him to move him away, but he collapsed in the lorry and died on 23 November 2010. He was buried on the bank of the Siyambalangamuwa lake.
