we need to change the name of Baker's Waterfall, It is a shame we still use the name of someone like him for something like that, And I am pretty sure he is not the one who found that waterfall first 😂
💖 Many Thanks for sharing our very ancient natural beauty & my respect to the so called foreigners who devoted their time & energy for the conservation of our forestry. Very knowledgeable video. 💅
Does or did Sri Lanka ever have wild Water Buffalo? I've read that wild Water Buffalo are rare in Asia since they favor lowland habitats that have mostly been converted to agriculture.
Yes, there are water buffaloes in Sri Lanka. Like you said, they are only found in the lowlands. For instance, there are plenty of water buffaloes at Yala and Wilpattu National Parks (both of which are in the lowlands).
Samuel Baker killed more than 1500 Elephants lived in Horton Plains and mountain region in Sri Lanka, saying "HUNTING " and after the death of Baker it was recorded that Even his grave was vandalized by lightning strikes
Actually, it was Thomas William Rogers (another elephant hunter) that got struck by lightning. His grave is now in Nuwara Eliya, where the grave also got struck by lightning.
@@iamyoshi1923 I don’t think there’d be a major impact to the ecosystem. Elephants still roam the Adam’s Peak Wilderness area, which close by. However, only 15 to 30 elephants are left. There’s a belief they may one day migrate to Horton Plains, though it seems unlikely for these reclusive elephants.
