Only two elephants in the herd are known to have survived the fall at the 200-metre high Haew Narok Waterfall in a national park in Thailand’s mountainous northeast, officials said.
The elephants were trying to cross the river at the top of the cliff on Saturday when a strong current swept them over the edge of the waterfalls, officials at the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation said. “We flew drones at a height of 15 metres above the ground as we can’t walk in to confirm the deaths,” Nattapong said.
“We assume that there were 13 elephants in this herd and two of them survived. We are 100 per cent confident that two of them are alive as the officials saw them going out for food around the area of Haew Narok falls,” Nattapong said.
