Nepal Gifts Ronaldo's Offspring, Elephants Rudrakali & Khagendra, to Qatar

• Nepal gifted two elephants, Rudrakali (7-year-old female) and Khagendra Prasad (6-year-old male), from Chitwan National Park to Qatar.
• The elephants departed from Bhairahawa's Gautam Buddha International Airport via a special Qatari cargo plane.
• This gift symbolizes mutual harmony, fulfilling a 2018 announcement by former President Bidya Devi Bhandari and discussed during Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim's 2024 visit.
• Both Rudrakali and Khagendra are the offspring of a wild elephant named Ronaldo, born at the Sauraha elephant stable.
• Nepal aims for international recognition of its biodiversity by gifting wildlife, marking this as the first instance of gifting elephants.
