Elephant-bulls at Koln Zoo

Is this the Bindu who accidentally killed a keeper in the Aspinall collection many years ago?
 
This is Aspinalls Bindu. I believe he arrived at Köln in 2004 and he killed a keeper in 1984.
 
Yes, it is the same elephant that was previously at Port Lympne.

I had, the pleasure of working with Bindu at Port Lympne back in the mid to late 80,s, he only ever had peg,s not tusk,s. He farther calfs, at Lympne, am not sure if any survived,while i was there Rani had a calf by Bindu but saddley the calf was stillborn.

The only calf to survive was 'Sittang' and he would have been fathered by 'Luka.' Even he died at two years old, shortly before the Asian elephants were dispersed.
