Wildlife officers and veterinary officials have begun treatment for a sick elephant found collapsed near the Sengamuwa Tank area within the Lahugala National Park, the Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) said.

The treatment is being carried out by the veterinary surgeon D.B.N. Pushpakumara, who is attached to the office of the Department of Wildlife Conservation, Ampara, along with wildlife officers, since June 30.

The elephant is a male, nearly 07 feet in height and estimated to be 30-35 years old.

Wildlife officials at Lahugala National Park have provided the animal with food and water while using a tent-like covering for protection.

The elephant is being continuously monitored, and treatment will be continued based on its condition.
