Millangoda Raja (Sinhala:මිල්ලන්ගොඩ රාජා) (also known as Millangoda tusker) was a Sri Lankan elephant, which was considered as the longest tusked Asian elephant, when he was living. He was captured at Nawagaththegama jungles in Anamaduwa, Puttalam District in 1945 and thereafter was owned by M. R. A. Millangoda Appuhamy of Molagoda, Kegalle. Millangoda Raja participated at the Esala Perahera in Kandy for nearly 40 years and also carried the casket of tooth relic, an opportunity enjoyed by only a few elephants in Sri Lanka. The tusker died on 30 July 2011 and was about 70 years old at the time of his death. There are now plans to stuff the body of Millangoda Raja and put it on public display.. ==See also== *Raja *Heiyantuduwa Raja *Nadungamuwa Raja *Kandula 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millangoda Raja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
