text:
Kottoor Soman, also known as Konniyil Soman and Kottur Soman, is an Indian elephant and retired kumki who was inaccurately claimed or represented in 2020 to be the oldest living elephant in the world, owned by the Kerala Forest Department, but the claim of birth year has not been confirmed, which is why his submission into Guinness Book of Records was rejected. In fact, the oldest known elephant in the world, as of 2024, is Vatsala, a female elephant born around 1917, who lives in the Panna Tige
