The carcass of a male jumbo calf was spotted yesterday by some Forest
personnel in Hadagarh wildlife sanctuary at Anandapur in Keonjhar district.
According to an official source, age of the calf would be around five to
six years. The young pachyderm was found by forest watchers at Masaghati
under Kathakata section in the sanctuary. Later, the staff informed this to
their department higher-ups, including Anandapur divisional forest officer
(DFO) and Hadagarh ranger for necessary steps at their end.
On being informed, senior forest officials reached the spot and initiated a
probe to ascertain the reason behind the elephant calf’s death. The carcass
was recovered and a post-mortem was done today.
Following the post-mortem, the mortal remains were buried in the forest.
“We suspect that the elephant calf might have been killed due its
confrontation with a tusker. However, the exact cause of death can be
confirmed only after a report comes in,” a forest staff said.
