''Arundhati died of natural death,'' said an Uttarkhand Forest Department official. The pachyderm, who has carried thousands of tourists on her back for a jungle safari around Rajaji National Park, suffered multiple fractures after she got struck in a marsh in the park area some days back. Since the elephant was writhing in pain, the park authorities awarded euthanasia to the elephant to lessen its excruciating pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
