- Dhurbe (Nepali: धुर्बे) is a wild male elephant in Chitwan National Park of Nepal that killed 15 Nepali citizens and one Indian and destroyed more than 50 houses in a span of four years of 2009 and 2012. It got out of contact in 2013 but has been reappearing time and again. The elephant is named after an army personnel whom it killed. After the initial attacks, it was radio-collared to track its movement, but the radio stopped working after a few weeks. When the elephant killed more people, in 2012, the officials declared it as a mad elephant and decided to shoot it down. 93 armed personnel from Nepal Army and Chitwan National Parks was mobilized to kill the elephant but they could not locate him. Later, the officials claimed that Dhurbe was injured in firings from the army but he run away and survived. Dhurbe appeared in 2018. It broke into the army post of Chitwan National Park at Tirthamankali and took a female elephant with him. At the same time, Dhrube attacked and injured a male elephant named Paras Gaj.
