An incident of a wild Tiger killing five elephant calves in Bandipur National Forest has come to light recently.
About four elephant calves aged between one and two years were found injured following Tiger attack in Hediyala, Bandipura and Gudre forest areas.
Forest officials had brought one of the calves and treated it, but to no avail. One more calf, which was injured in recent days, was found dead following the attack by the big cat.
The growing such incidents has forced the forest officials to act earliest.
