This Elephant Survived A Poaching Attempt. Then Vets Noticed Something Weird.

in #animals7 years ago

Unfortunately, elephants are still highly prized by poachers for their tusks. This means governments and rescue organizations in areas where elephants live are always keeping tabs on the elephant population and attempting to stop poachers in their tracks. They don't always succeed, and sometimes animals still get hurt.

Animal Wildlife Area Research and Rehabilitation (AWARE) veterinarians were alerted to two wounded elephants in Zimbabwe when they came across something they had never seen before.

A large bull elephant they call "Pretty Boy" showed up and allowed them to start treatment. They wondered what the large mark in the center of his forehead was.desktop-1499646419.pngdesktop-1499646419.png
