A nice capture. The anguish of the mother elephant is evident.

There is a severe disrespect shown on wildlife and this menace is seemingly unending. To upset these gentle giants is disgrace. That too being right in their home.

We identified 2 roadkills in a day last week in the Ooty - Mysore road near Sigur (Not the main Ooty - Mysore road passing through Gudalur). In the night a newborn Sambar fawn was seperated from its mother owing to traffic and honking of horns.
