In this file photo taken on August 14, 2019, the 70-year-old emaciated Sri Lankan elephant Tikiri stands at the Temple of the Tooth in the central city of Kandy, where she was brought to march in an annual Buddhist pageant.
The government has ordered an autopsy for Tikiri, a domesticated Asian elephant who died Tuesday night in Kegalle, 80 kilometres east of the capital Colombo, a wildlife department official said."Tikiri was severely undernourished," Jayewardene said. "It is a wonder that she lived this long."
