This is first of all told by ancient ilango adigal ( who is the author of sillappatikaram one of the great epice of tamil literatutre ) . And the second evedience in Nitrinai 205 , poem i,e
YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE HARSF FOREST
IN THE MOUNTAIN SLOPE ,
WHERE WATERFALLS ROAR DOWN,AND A FIERCE
ali DRAGS AWAY A BULL ELEPHANT WITH WHITE,
LIFTED TRUSKS WITH SHARP ENDS , KILLED BY A
TIGER WITH KILLING CLAWS AND BRIGHT STRIPES....
Yazhi is one of the controll less animal on those days . In now a days these animals sculpture are seen in old temples like MADURAI Meenachi Amman Temple , 1000 pillar hall , THANJAVUR Brihadeeswara temple and CHIDAMBARAM Nataraja temple etc.These animals sculptured in the beam of this temple to protect the god (it's a belief of people ) .
Now a day we tell gigantic animal is an elephant , but in 16th century yazhi is a gigantic animal than elephant . In africa we usually speak about dinosaurus , chinese have dragon and greek have fenix like wise south indians have a yazhi at the time . These animals are most probably in south india . Abroad countries are proved their animals live in the country by archaeologist . But indians are proved by sculpture in olden days temple .
How it die? The main reason for way out yazhi is natural disaster in kumari ghats so this creature are migrate from one place to another . In this migration there species are perish by climate change or poaching . In kumari ghats disaster are proved by tamil illakkayam .
IT IS NOT TO TELL A METHATHOLOGY .
