Ailing elephant that was treated by Forest Department dies in MTR

The Hindu  

A six-year-old male elephant that was found in a weak state in Masinagudi in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve a few days ago was found dead on Tuesday. The cause of death of the animal could have possibly been exacerbated by the lack of rain in the landscape, leading to the deterioration of health of an already weak animal, Forest Department officials said. The elephant was found near a private area along the Masinagudi to Singara Road in the Singara forest range in a seriously weak condition. “Post-mortem examination on two of the more recent elephant deaths in the landscape, excluding Tuesday’s were on aged animals, whose teeth had been severely affected and the animals themselves were in a weak state,” said Mr. Arunkumar, who added that the deaths of such animals during the summer, though sad, were natural and were nothing to worry about. Forest officials also said that such deaths every year played a crucial role in the delicate food cycle involving scavengers, including providing fodder for the extremely rare Striped hyenas and the three species of critically endangered vultures that populate the landscape.
