A wild elephant that was discovered in a trap two weeks ago in Yok Don
National Park was released back into the jungle on May 22, park managers
have announced.
Director of Central Highlands Dak Lak
province’s Elephant Conservation Centre Huynh Trung Luan said the animal
had recovered from all of its injuries after receiving treatment.
The male elephant, weighing about 700 kilos, suffered injuries to its
trunk and feet after being caught in a poacher’s trap on May 7.
It took the park’s rescue workers seven days to release the animal so that it could be treated.-VNA
