The forest around our farm has some elephants that can’t get enough food in the forest by the result "invade" the farm and village.
They ate the coconut trees of our farm, about 20 of the coconut trees dead because the sprout eaten.
Other village get invaded also, loss is not known.
Wildlife protection of Malaysia caught an elephant six days ago, it was tightened up to a broken tree, the area surrounded all damaged because of the elephant, no trees survived.
At day, there is no shade at all, the elephant get sundried and have nothing to eat and drink.
When I heard about that, it is the forth day, so, wwoofer and us went and saw the elephant.
We was warned not to approach the elephant, because it is wild.
When I looking closer at its eyes, it doesn’t seem fierce.
Hence, we took three round to give food and water for this elephant.
At the second round, we tried tyre to contain water because tyre won’t get damaged easily, and two rotten papaya and a pineapple.
This worked, the elephant is so thirsty, hungry and hot, it spray the water on its body.
At the third round, we tried using bigger container, it worked, the elephant get its body fully wet.
Pity elephant, why can’t malaysian learn from Thai and nepalese to live well with elephant?
We don’t have enough time to take more food and water for this elephant. I have to look for its condition later.
Wether it have been transfer?
