Accidentally trapped in a live-wire fence erected to keep off wild bores
The mysterious deaths of wild elephants continues unabated in the Kaundinya sanctuary at the confluence of the Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka border, about 125 kms from here in the Palamaner-V.Kota-Kuppam tract.
In the most recent case, forest officials found the carcass of a full-grown female elephant on Monday at Vengampalle in Byreddypalle mandal. After conflicting reports as to the cause of the pachyderm’s death, further reports said that the autopsy conducted by veterinary surgeons in the presence of forest officials on Tuesday indicated that the jumbo must have died after coming into contact with a live-wire.
