Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A mahout is an elephant rider, trainer, or keeper. As with many professions in tribal or undeveloped areas, a mahout starts as a boy, as a hereditary family profession, and he receives an elephant early in its life, and he is trained to keep it by his family. They remain bonded to each other throughout their lives.
