Rishikesh (Uttarakhand), Jan 28 (PTI) A 20-year-old female elephant was killed by a tiger in Corbett Tiger Reserve (CTR), a forest official said.
The half-eaten body of the pachyderm was found by a forest patrolling team this morning, Uttarakhand Chief Wildlife Warden Srikant Chandola said.
"The killing of elephant calves by a tiger is a common incident in jungles but this is a very rare incident when the tiger has attacked and killed an adolescent elephant," he added.
