The period between October and December is the northeast monsoon season. In the coming few weeks, heavy rainfall is expected to hit the southeastern part of the Indian peninsula. Now, as the monsoon in Tamil Nadu is just around the corner, elephants have already started migrating from the Western Ghats towards the Eastern Ghats.
One such video also surfaced on social media where a family of elephants were seen travelling from the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu towards the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve. The clip was shared on Saturday on Twitter by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Supriya Sahu.
