The Dhaka Times Desk 6 elephants have died after falling into a waterfall known as 'Hell's Pit' in Thailand. It is known that 6 elephants gave their lives one by one to save a cub.

According to a report in the media, 6 elephants have died after falling into a waterfall known as 'Hell's Pit' in Thailand. It is known that 6 innocent elephants died one by one while trying to save a cub.

Although in the end two elephants were rescued by the concerned authorities. One such incident occurred in Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand.

Park officials told media that a three-year-old cub in the elephant group slipped and fell into the falls. Then 5 more elephants died while trying to save it. Two other elephants were rescued injured.

According to a report in the media, this waterfall is infamous in Thailand as 'heu narak' (hell pit). Such incidents have happened here many times before. In 1992, a group of 8 elephants died after falling like this. Since then, this waterfall has come to everyone's attention.

Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department said that last Saturday at 3 o'clock local time, a group of elephants blocked the road leading to the hell pit, which is where the attention of officials is directed. After a 3-hour effort by park staff, a body of the cub was finally found under the waterfall. 5 more dead bodies of elephants were found around this. 2 more elephants were found injured.

The founder of the Wildlife Friends Foundation of Thailand, Edwin Wik, told the media that it will be very difficult for the two injured elephants to survive. Elephants usually move in groups for their safety and in search of food. Due to this, such incidents may occur.

It is believed that there are currently about 7,000 elephants in Thailand. After 1992, the death of 6 elephants together did not happen in Thailand. That is why the death of these 6 elephants has created an atmosphere of mourning throughout Thailand.
