An elephant from Tamil Nadu has her own fan base on the Internet, thanks to her unique hairstyle. Sengamalam the elephant lives at the Rajagopalaswamy Temple in the town of Mannargudi, but her bob-cut hair has earned her fans across the country. Photos of the elephant, who is fondly called "Bob-cut Sengamalam", have captured the Internet's attention once again after they were posted on Twitter a day ago by Indian Forest Service officer Sudha Ramen.
According to Mannai Online, Sengamalam was brought to the Rajagopalaswamy Temple from Kerala in 2003. Her mahout, S Rajagopal, is responsible for her unique fringed hairstyle - which requires a lot of maintenance and care.

According to Mr Rajagopal, Sengamalam's hair is washed three times a day during the summers and at least once a day in other seasons. The mahout has also installed a special shower, worth Rs 45,000, to keep her cool during the hot summer months.
According to CNN, the hair that elephants have on their head helps carry heat away from their body into the air.
