Hanagodu: A 20-day-old elephant calf that got separated from its mother and the herd on the fringes of the Nagarahole National Park on Feb. 5 has been shifted to Mathigodu Elephant Camp for better nurture and care.
The wailing calf that had lost its way was spotted by villagers at Bharathavaadi. They informed the Forest Department staff who were on patrol. Forest officials conducted a thorough medical check-up and fed the baby before leaving it near Mantalli Kere under Veeranahosahalli Range. They waited for its mother to come in search of its calf but the mother elephant did not return.
