Mahouts work with elephants.
A mahout is a person in India, almost always a male, who rides an elephant. The word "mahout" is derived from the Hindi word - "mahaut". A mahout will usually start riding his elephant at a very young age and they will work together for as long as they are both alive.
A mahout's stick is commonly called an "ankus." It is a traditional tool used by elephant handlers to guide and control elephants. The ankus typically features a pointed end for prodding and a hook for maneuvering the animal, allowing the mahout to communicate effectively with the elephant.

The goad used by a mahout to drive an elephant is called an ankus or bullhook. It typically consists of a sharp metal hook and a pointed tip used to guide and control the elephant. However, the use of ankus has been a subject of controversy due to animal welfare concerns.
