In this episode of Man Eaters, we dive deep into the lives of two remarkable Indian elephants—Arikomban and Padayappa. Known as “tuskers,” these giants navigate a shrinking wilderness, blurring the line between wild and urban. From Arikomban’s infamous raids on rice stores to Padayappa’s calm strolls through busy towns, their stories reveal the complex and often heartbreaking conflict between humans and elephants in India. Join us as we explore their journeys, their impact, and what they teach us about coexistence on the edge of the wild.WEBSITE: www.maneaterspod.comPATREON: patreon.com/maneatersEMAIL: maneaterspod@gmail.comFACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/maneaterspodINSTAGRAM: @maneaterspodcastINSTAGRAM: @jimothychaps
