TN: Female elephant found dead in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve
Nilgiris (Tamil Nadu) [India]: A 25-year-old female elephant was found dead in the Singara Forest area of Mudumalai Tiger Reserve on Thursday, said officials.
The dead elephant was pregnant.
This is the first case of female elephant death in Nilgiris due to the rupture of the carapace due to the shock caused when another male elephant tried to mate the female elephant, said officials.

A large number of wild animals including elephants, tigers, leopards, bears, buffaloes and deer are found here.
