[PHOTOS] Elephants tranquilized ahead of translocation from Rumuruti PERPETUA ETYANG, The Star April 7, 2025 See link <https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2025-04-07-photos-elephants-tranquilized-ahead-of-translocation-at-rumuruti> for photos. A set of elephants underwent tranquilization ahead of their translocation at Rumuruti. The tranquilized elephant got its oxygen intake and heart rate measurements through a pulse oximeter at Naibo on April 4, 2025, at Rumuruti. This was done during the elephant translocation to Meru National Park due to an increase in human wildlife conflict. The Kenya Wildlife Service said translocation supports peaceful coexistence in helping communities thrive while giving wildlife the space they need to roam freely and safely. Four elephants were safely captured in the Rumuruti–Naibor area following a rise in human- wildlife conflict. They will be translocated to the landscapes of Meru National Park. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2025-04-07-photos-elephants-tranquilized-ahead-of-translocation-at-rumuruti
