Jumbo was found dead

In Balasore one of the prominent sanctuary namely Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary a tusker was found dead inside and its tusk were missing and is being suspected to be killed four to five days back. Tusk is the hard smooth ivory colored dentine that makes up most of the tusks of elephants and walruses. There seems to be some insider hand to this incident as for it one forest guard is kept under suspicion. The body of the tusker was recovered nearer to a water body about one point five kilometers inside the sanctuary. They are informed by locals and then the officials rushed to this spot. As per the preliminary investigation the elephant is being killed through gun shot. The pachyderm of that of any of various non ruminant hoofed mammals having very thick skin: elephant; rhinoceros; hippopotamus is being removed by poachers immediately after it has been killed by them. At the head of the elephant there is deep injury marks tusk of some weight had been recovered from the spot and that had been sent for autopsy. The tusk was later buried inside the deep forest. One guard has been suspended for negligence and uncaring at this situation and the matter is under investigation and soon the fact finding team will hopefully reach at the conclusion. In one earlier incident at Sambalpur an injured tusker which was found limping near to a village in the Dhama forest range is still to recover fully. It had the wound at the front left knee. The tusker had moved to the hills and for this the advance treatment is not possible for the time being. A special team of forest officers have worked out the plan of treatment and they are going in the right direction. With the puss is in the wound and for this the tusker must be cared in to medical attention immediately. The tusker must have found the wound due to poachers and the rise in poaching in these belt of Odisha is now is a serious cause of concern.
