A tusker aged between 15 and 18 was found dead in an abandoned government land near Uduvare in Sakleshpur taluk. The carcass, which was in a decomposed state, was noticed on Saturday and the post-mortem was conducted on Sunday. The tusks, 50 cm in length, were intact. Officers suspect that the death could be due to injuries during infighting.
Two herds, totalling around 30, were noticed around estates in the area in the past 10 to 12 days. Rapid response teams of the Forest Department had monitored the movement.More Related News
