Sick ( continued )

[Vikram Nanjappa]

This is a photograph of the sick tusker taken when he emerged out of the water. He is now out of the park . A large male Gaur , who himself looks unwell comes out of the park to check on the tusker every once in a while. The villagers do not disturb him but also keep an eye on him.We are monitoring the situation and have sent photographs to the local press. Hopefully it will be in the local papers tomorrow. This photograph was taken by my friend and colleague Venkatesh and posted with his permission .He will be joining this forum shortly.
