Elephant Calf Death

Five adult elephants and a calf were crushed to death last night by a train in Assam. The elephants were hit by the Guwahati-Naharlagun Express at around 1 am when the herd was trying to cross the rail line, sources in the railways said.

It is a sight that highlights the increasing man-animal conflict in India. An elephant calf in Assam mourned the death of his mother and refused to leave her side.

A four-year-old elephant calf was electrocuted after it came in contact with an electrified fence in a farm in Burugur forest area in Eradu, police said today.

Ten endangered Borneo pygmy elephants have been found dead in a Malaysian forest under mysterious circumstances, and wildlife officials said Tuesday that they probably were poisoned.
