2 elephants cross into Bangladesh through Naf river
Sun Online Desk
Two wild elephants entered Bangladesh from Myanmar Saturday crossing the River Naf.
The members of the Elephant Response Team led by Teknaf Range Officer of Cox s Bazar South Forest Department Syed Ashiq Ahmed pushed the elephants back into the forest after hours of trying.
It is believed that the two elephants were trying to cross the River Naf from Myanmar and entered the forest area along the Teknaf border after facing a shortage of food. Seeing the curious locals, they started running back and forth along the border.
In August last year, another elephant from Myanmar crossed the river to enter Bangladesh, Ashiq said.
