Dakshayani, 86, is all set to enter
the Guinness World Records as the oldest living elephant. The
Travancore Devasom Board (TDB) - the owner of the elephant - has
already written to the Guinness authorities staking claim to Dakshayani being
the oldest living elephant in the world. The TDB claims that Dakshayani
is with them since 1949.
Guinness World Records, known from
its inception in 1955 until 1998 as The Guinness Book of Records and in
previous U.S. editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a reference
book published annually, listing world records and national records, both of
human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The book
itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted book of all time.
