Days after a baby elephant was rejected by its mother, the jumbo was taken to an ‘elephant feeding camp’ at the Mudumalai National Park in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, on Sunday.
In the camp, the officials of the Forest Department Dr Rajesh and Dr Sukumar examined the health of the baby elephant. Upon monitoring, it seemed healthy and weighed around 150 kilograms. It was then fed lactose milk. Reportedly, the elephant calf was separated from its mother in the Marudamalai forest area, near Thondamuthur in the Coimbatore district.
