Injured baby elephant recovers after being abandoned by herd in Thailand
An injured baby elephant is recovering at a sanctuary in Thailand after being abandoned by its herd.
The one-month-old female baby calf, named Tanwa, was found lying in a bamboo shed in Kanchanaburi province on 27 November by rangers from Srinakarin Dam National Park.
She was airlifted from the jungle on 3 December to be monitored by vets at the Bueng Chawak Non-Hunting Area in Suphan Buri province.
“Tanwa has improved a lot. She is healthy and happy,” Chaiwut Areechon, senior forest official of the Srinakarin Dam National Park, said.
