Elephant Calf Maya Airlifted from Kerala to Gujarat for Specialized Treatment
An 18-month-old elephant calf named Maya, suffering from a genetic bone disorder called osteopenia and unable to stand or walk, was airlifted from Kerala to Vantara in Jamnagar, Gujarat, for specialised treatment. Maya was rescued as a dehydrated newborn and cared for at Kerala's Kodanad elephant centre. After a fall in July caused multiple fractures and worsened her condition, Kerala authorities, lacking advanced facilities, arranged her transfer to Vantara, where experts will provide intensive care including hormonal therapy and hydrotherapy. The treatment duration is expected to be four to six months, with hopes for recovery.
