West Bengal.
The adult elephant was struck by a train in a forest at the Buxa Tiger Reserve, a few miles from Alipurduar in north east India.
A speeding passenger train, the Guwahati-bound Somporkkranti Express, hit the elephant while he was crossing the railway line. He died instantly.
Hecan species, only male Asian
elephants have tusks, m the elephant who died
here was an adult male
The tiger reserve where the
elephant was killed is inside the
Buxa National Park, which runs along
India's boundary with Bhutan.
This means that the tiger reserve
serves as international corridor for
elephants migrating between India
and Bhutan, making a it a danger
spot for train drivers.
Indian forest guards now have the
difficult task of getting the huge
animal off the tracks so that the train
line can reopen.
Sadly this fatal collision was not an
isolated incident.
