One of the twelve elephants that were left in the eastern area of Chitwan Park after being transferred from Shuklaphanta has reappeared after a long gap. In Baisakh of the year 2074, seven twelve deer were brought from Shuklaphanta, some of them died after the flood in the monsoon of the same year, while the condition of one was unknown.
In the winter of 2073, the government brought Arna from Koshi and fenced it in Padampur, which was empty after moving it out of the old settlement inside Chitwan Park. Twelve horns were kept inside the fence along with Arna. Of the five females and two males, two of the twelve females died as soon as they were brought. Four others also died of various causes. Arna also died due to disease and tiger attacks after the flood caused damage to the cage where Arna was. The condition of one of the twelve horns could not be ascertained.
Nature guide Upkar Mahato took a picture of twelve elephants at Kumroz Central Community Forest on Saturday. Conservation officer Avinash Thapa, who is the information officer of Chitwan National Park, said that a female bison has been seen in the Kumroz forest area along with the herd of Chittal for some time.
'There were no twelve horns in Chitwan before. The condition of one of those who were transferred was unknown. The same should be seen in the Kumroz forest area,' said Conservation Officer Thapa.
Last year also, Upkar Mahato said that other nature guides had seen the elephant and when they doubted that it had died without seeing it again, it was nice to see it again.
