After a seven hour-long flight, Kaavan, the Sri Lankan baby elephant that was gifted to former Pakistan President Zia ul Haq in 1985, is reportedly walking around its new home in a Cambodian wildlife sanctuary. India also stepped in to help in the translocation, giving special permission for the valuable cargo flight to stopover in New Delhi.
