A male elephant calf, aged around one month, was brought to the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home on November 7 after being rescued from the Mahaseelawa area in Yala National Park.
The calf was found suffering from malnutrition caused by an infected wound on its hindquarters.
Under the supervision of Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Malaka Abeywardena and wildlife officers at the Transit Home, necessary medical treatments, including nutritional supplements are currently being administered to the calf. (Newswire)
