A captive-raised bull elephant released into wilderness in Lampang province was found dead at the stream near the foot of a hill in Harng Chat district of Lampang province on Thursday morning.

 

The 37-year-old elephant “Plai Somrak” was freed into the jungle under a programme called “Releasing Elephants Into Nature”.

 

Plai Somrak was hunted by Doi Phamuang wildlife sanctuary park officials three days ago after it was on musth and turned aggressive ransacking a Mae Pon elephant camp in Harng Chat and attacking the elephants there.

There was probably a Pattaya balcony at the top of that cliff. Damn things should be outlawed.

My thought exactly. He must have been driven insane by the bar scene.

Myran, This must have been a foreign elephant. Pay air fare to come to Thailand to commit suicide.

Yes, stupid chang kii nok.

Musth is merely elephant lust.  He spotted/smelled a female and, like other male creatures, went off the edge.  Anyway, 37 elephant years is plenty long enough to spread the genes.
