A 40-year-old female elephant was found dead in Mundanthurai Range of Kalakkad – Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve on Wednesday.
Sources in KMTR’s Ambasamudram Division said the death of the female elephant came to light when the forest personnel were on a patrol in the Agasthiyarmalai beat on Wednesday. A team of veterinarians conducted the autopsy and buried the corpse at the spot.
Age-associated ailments are suspected to be the reason behind the death of the elephant, the sources said.
