The male elephant with a wound in its back and appearing weak was spotted in a river flowing through Aralam forest division on Tuesday morning.
A 35-year old wild elephant, seriously injured in a suspected fight with other tuskers, died in Kerala on Tuesday night before getting treatment by the Forest department veterinarians, officials said.
The male elephant with a wound in its back and appearing weak was spotted in a river flowing through Aralam forest division on Tuesday morning.
"It is suspected that the tusker had sustained an injury on his back during a fight with other tuskers. The initial suggestion of the forest veterinarians is that the injury is out of a fight," a Forest official told PTI.
The exact cause of the death of the animal could be ascertained only after a post-mortem.
