An elephant calf was found dead in Eidgaon upazila of Cox's Bazar today.
Locals said a group of woodcutters discovered the dead elephant around
7:00am while collecting wood at Garjantala, near Satghariapara in Ghazalia
of Islamabad.
On information, officials from the Forest Department's Rajghat Beat and
Phulchhari Range visited the spot, reports our Cox's Bazar staff
correspondent.
They said the elephant was identified as a male, estimated to be between
one and a half to two years old. However, they found some wounds on its
body.
Rajghat Beat Officer Shah Alam said, "We received information about a sick
baby elephant two days earlier and provided treatment at several locations.
Despite our efforts, the elephant's condition did not improve, and it died
this morning."
However, the cause of the wounds remains unclear, and the forest officials
were unable to explain.
The exact cause of death will be determined after autopsy.
Master Kamal Uddin, president of the Ghazalia Cooperative Forest Management
Committee, said the elephant had been suffering from physical illness.
Another elephant might have attacked it, he said.
