Comments / pictures

Krishna, a male elephant, died in a mysterious condition in October and officials of the zoo kept the tusker’s death a secret until the visitors could learn about it, said sources.

Krishna was brought to the Bondla wildlife sanctuary in 1990 after it was rescued from the forest area of Mollem-Sacorda. The department is unaware about the exact age of the animal and officials say Krishna must have been aged between 45 and 50. “The elephant must have been aged 10-15 when it was rescued from Mollem,” said zoo officials.

According to sources, Krishna died on October 19 and the Tusker was found to be ill since the previous day. The animal was kept away from the visitors since the last two months. Sources said the officials are unaware of the exact reason behind Krishna’s illness and death. Krishna was the only elephant in the zoo after the death of its female partner Radha, which died some ten years ago. After Radha’s death, no efforts were made by the zoo authorities to get a new partner for Krishna.
