Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived

Spanning seven decades and three continents, this is the captivating true story of the extraordinary bond between a boy, Bram Gunterstein, and an elephant, Modoc, both born on the same day in a small German circus town. Raised together and trained with affection and kindness, their lifelong friendship is tested through a series of high-adventure events, including a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean. Their journey continues with an apprenticeship alongside the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, before their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. Modoc is a remarkable tale of loyalty, friendship, and survival.
