Elephants saunter out of forest near Coimbatore, take a bath at village tank, return

Forest Department staff were kept on their toes on Tuesday morning, but said the tuskers simply bathed, relaxed, and then went back to the forest without disturbing any residents

Jaunting out of Siruvani forests, two tuskers walked close to human habitation without disturbing a single resident, and took a cool bath in a tank at Semmedu village on the city's outskirts. As the tank was located in the middle of villages, Forest Department staff were on their toes from Tuesday morning. After keeping them tense for hours however, the elephants sauntered back into the forests in the afternoon.
