2021: The death of a male pachyderm ‘Hero’ under unnatural circumstances at Kapilas Elephant Rescue centre has sparked concern on spread of herpes virus among the animals in the zoo, a report said.
This has left the forest officials worried over the safety of the remaining four elephants in the zoo.
The zoo has been left with four elephants Kartik, Uma,
Chandu
and Padma after the death of the male jumbo Hero.
The spread of herpes virus in the zoo despite a series of safety measures and restrictions has sparked concerns among the residents in the locality.
The matter came to the fore after veterinarians conducted a post-mortem of the animal carcass and sent its samples to
Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT)
in Bhubaneswar.
On receipt of the report, the forest department has become more concerned about the safety of the female jumbo ‘Padma’, 18 months, which was rescued from
Berhampur Forest
region and rehabilitated in the Kapilas zoo. Padma has been kept in isolation while the rest of the elephants were given anti-viral treatment.
