Ranger officials first noticed the injured elephant while monitoring the forest border near the elephant fence. Isolated from its herd, the elephant was limping badly and clearly in pain, reacting aggressively to anyone who came too close — a sign of fear, injury, and distress caused by a gunshot wound to its front leg.
Understanding the urgency, the rangers immediately contacted the nearest wildlife conservation office. Veterinary professionals arrived to treat the wound and prevent further infection, working carefully to ease the elephant’s suffering. Once again, dedicated healing hands came together to give this victim of cruelty a chance to recover and return to safety.
