This is a life-size replica of a famous or infamous elephant called 'hapoor', meaning piece away from the ear. Its believed it was shot through the ear, and it had a hate for people ever since. It reached an age of 44, when it was deposed as leader and in the same year its the only elephant that broke through the fences and cause lots of consternation. Due to its hate for people, it had to be put down. In honour to its magnificence an area was named after it.
