Sudden Death of 10 Bornean Jumbo or More

This is so heartbreaking...
this little one orphaned for no apparent reason. Trying to wake up its dead mother.
yeah u probably already heard about it.
there was about 10 Bornean elephants were found dead at Gunung Rara Forest Reserve,
Tawau, Sabah
and sadly, 
"None of the elephants had gunshot wounds. Post mortem was done on all of them and it looks like their gastrointestinal tract had severe hemorrhages and ulceration with some bleeding from the mouth and anus,” 
said Dr Sen
“We highly suspect that it might be some form of acute poisoning from something that they had eaten but we are still waiting for the laboratory results of the chemical analysis from samples taken from the dead elephants to confirm the diagnosis,” concluded Dr Sen.

here is some picture I took from a Fb users

its such a horrible sight!
"this is all part of the chemical reaction in the body when an animal dies....the elephants

look bloated because there is gas build up from Bacterial activity inside the body" Dr Sen


This baby Pygmy Borneo has been taken care at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.
She is still weak and drinking half her normal amount.

"Sending prayers and love to the little one and hoping she pulls through".
