Newswire reports that a wild elephant from Kusumgama, in the Gallella area of Polonnaruwa, was taken to the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home on October 29 for further medical care. Daily Mirror had earlier reported that plans were under way to move an unwell calf known as Thal-etaya to the facility.
Lankadeepa reports that the approximately 10-year-old calf had been stuck in a muddy field in Kusumgama for 12 days without food. Lankadeepa says the Department of Wildlife Conservation’s veterinary unit arranged for it to be taken to Udawalawe for additional treatment.
Newswire reports that care had begun at the transit home, with wildlife veterinarian Malaka Kasun Abeywardhana, who leads the facility, overseeing treatment. Newswire also reports that the elephant is expected to receive continued veterinary care there.
