The 36-year-old, 4,080 kilogram elephant received a warm welcome on arrival in Cambodia from officials, conservationists and the Buddhist monks, who chanted prayers for his harmony and prosperity.
The plight of the male Asian elephant has captured worldwide attention, including from the American singer and actor Cher, who has been closely involved in his rescue and was in Cambodia for Kaavan’s arrival. According to Four Paws, very few adult elephants have ever been relocated by plane, so preparations were arduous.
He was also dangerously overweight due to his unsuitable diet of around 250 kilograms of sugar cane each day. With Khalil’s help, Kaavan lost 1,000 pounds over the past three months.Kaavan’s wounds are emotional as well as physical. He would spend his days throwing his head from side to side, a stereotypical sign of boredom and misery in an elephant, said Martin Bauer, a spokesman for Four Paws.The loss of his mate Saheli took a toll on Kaavan’s mental health.

Dumbo was mocked for his over-sized ears.
I remember when my cousin’s dog passed and her other dog has been sad for over three years now! He doesn’t even chase squirrels like he used to or even tennis balls and he cries at night! It’s sad!
We need to give a huge thank you to cher for helping this come true!
