Baripada: On Monday, a dead elephant calf was discovered in a jungle in the Kaptipada neighbourhood of Odisha's Mayurbhanj district.
The juvenile elephant's carcass was discovered by locals in surrounding villages inside the Nota forest, which is part of the Kaptipada forest range. They immediately alerted forest department authorities, who hurried to the scene.
The calf's age was not yet established, but sources claimed the carcass was found and sent for a postmortem to determine the cause of death.
The carcass was discovered with nearly half of it submerged in the mud. Forest officials believe that the calf may have perished during a struggle between two groups, though the specific cause of death has not yet been determined.
