Dan Koehl is one of the most popular and richest Mahout who was born on October 28, 1959 in Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dan Albert John Koehl (born 28 October 1959) is a French-Swedish zookeeper, elephant trainer and stablemaster.
Since the late 1970s, Dan Koehl has served as head elephant keeper, stable master and consultant at zoos, circuses and ranches around the world. European locations have included Skansen, Cirkus Scott, Borås Wildlife Park, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, Dresden Zoo, Zoolandia. Parco Natura Viva, Kolmården Wildlife Park, Circus Krone, Tiergarten Walding, Karlsruhe Zoo and Prague Zoo. While at Skansen, pending the departure of the stable’s elephants “Nika” and “Shiva” to inferior living conditions abroad, he figured in a campaign that sparked nationwide debate over “Stockholm’s beloved elephants”. Despite described by Cynthia Moss in Elephant Memories as “among the best-cared-for and happiest I had ever seen in captivity”, after much controversy, Skansen’s elephants were shipped to Cricket Park, England, only to face premature death. At Kolmården Wildlife Park, Koehl was commissioned “royal head groom” for the management of the elephants “Boa” and “Saonoi” donated to King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Since the 1990s worldwide locations have included Elephant Experience and Sondelani Game Lodge in Zimbabwe, Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka, and Airavata Elephant Foundation and Compagnie des Eléphants d’Angkor, both latter ones in Cambodia.
