Elephant that travelled 1600 km from India to Bangladesh, dies
The four-ton pachyderm had been swept away in strong river currents of the Brahmaputra during floods in north-east India before being found in neighbouring Bangladesh.
According to reports, the local wildlife officials in Jamalpur district in northern Bangladesh tried to move it to a safari park outside Dhaka for rehabilitation.
But the elephant was weakened by its journey and repeated attempts to tranquilise it.
A post-mortem examination has been ordered.
