Revatha (also spelt Rewatha), nicknamed “Adambarakaaraya”, was the largest and most dominant tusker of the Kala Wewa – Balalu Wewa reserve, even though his tusks were short. Wildlife officials put his age at about 50 to 55 years. He was found dead on 9 March 2021 after touching an illegal electric fence set up to guard a maize field in the reserve.
