A team of veterinarians are treating a sick female elephant in a forest area at Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) on Thursday, April 11, 2024. During patrolling, a Forest Department team found the elephant, aged between 45 to 50, lying unconscious at Pudukuiyanur beat at Vadavalli in Sathyamangalam Forest Range and alerted senior officials. A calf, aged between two and three years, was found near the elephant. A team led by S. Sadasivam, wildlife veterinarian of the STR, began treatment as officials said the health condition of the elephant is yet to improve. Meanwhile, a herd was found moving in the area and officials reunited the calf with the herd. A special team is monitoring the movement of the herd using drones. It may be recalled that on March 5, an ailing 40-year-old female elephant, in Sathyamangalam, died without responding to treatment while its, two-month-old female baby elephant, was unsuccessfully reunited with a herd. Later, the baby elephant was shifted to Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. Likewise, a female elephant, aged between 35 and 40 years, in Kadambur Hills, died on April 8, without responding to treatment. https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/ailing-wild-elephant-being-treated-at-sathyamangalam/article68053781.ece
