Mother Rhino Dies Searching for Lost Calf; Calf Rescued and Released in North Bengal
In north Bengal's Alipurduar district, a mother rhino died, reportedly from a heart attack, after searching extensively for her lost calf. The calf became separated in the Falakata area and was later rescued by forest officials after a prolonged search involving around 60 personnel. The calf was treated and released in a grassland area of Jaldapara, where it can feed independently. A special team will monitor the calf to ensure its safety in the new environment.
