DEHRA DUN: An elephant was found dead in the Jim Corbett National Park, taking the number of pachyderm deaths in the sanctuary this year to eight.
The 40-year-old tuskless elephant died on Monday apparently after being attacked by a herd of tuskers in the park, forest officials said on Tuesday.
The officials said deep wounds on its body and footprints of several elephants were found in the area.
The pachyderm was buried after a post-mortem, they said.
As many as eight elephants have been reported dead in the Corbett park this year. While some of them died of natural causes, others died in accidents.
