Rajib Bora, with two broken teeth, has been admitted to the civil hospital here. According to forest department source three rhinos have strayed from the Kaziranga National Park. A female and a calf have taken shelter on a sand bank in Majuli while the another grown rhino is roaming among the bamboo clumps in north west Jorhat and may have been the one to have attacked Rajib Bora. Forest department officials are apprehensive that these stray rhinos may fall easy prey to poachers and have sought the help of the police to protect this endangered species. Meanwhile, 10 deer have died in the Kaziranga National Park following flood waters inundating a large part of the park. Six deer have been killed by speeding vehicles on NH 37 which runs through the park and four more have been drowned. Six more animals which were being swept by flood waters are being treated at the animal rescue centre in the Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
