- 6 years ago
This calf was found abandoned at a forest near Ooty in Tamil Nadu, a south Indian State, and officials at the Muthumulai Elephant Centre have been caring for him since.
The video from September 21 shows the elephant being fed Lactogen 2 milk, which consists of fatty acids, calcium, iron, vitamins and mineral essential for growth, from a giant 3-litre bottle. He is also being given a solid food diet comprising grass, fruits and bark.
A caretaker said the elephant is healthy and comparable to those raised in the wild.
