Electrocuted Elephant

An "Electrocuted Elephant" refers to a tragic incident where an elephant is harmed or killed by electrical shock, often due to contact with exposed or damaged power lines. This can occur in areas where human infrastructure overlaps with wildlife habitats, increasing the risk of accidents. Such incidents highlight the dangers that electrical infrastructure can pose to large animals, and they emphasize the need for wildlife protection measures like insulated wires, barriers, or dedicated corridors to prevent electrocution. It’s a serious conservation concern, as electrocution can cause significant injury or death to elephants.
