She was fed with lots of leaves while the 2 other cows gave elephant rides.
wow I only thought the Dhaka only had one elephant:Kajoltara all this time. I know you don't their age from the other picture but did they all come at around the same time?
 
I asked about their age and they responded about 70 years old. However, I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. I believe the elephants came to the zoo at the same time after it was reopened in 1974, 3 years after the liberation war. They were probably very young elephants that time so my rough guess is that they are around 40 years old.

On this page The status of Bangladesh's captive elephants - Md. Anwarul Islam it says that Pabantana and Kushumtara are about 60 years old and Kajaltara is about 35 years old but I can't verify the correctness of the information.
 
Thanks by the appearance of them I'd assume that they we're around 40 as well.
