An 18-month-old elephant calf named Maya, who was found abandoned and has been suffering from severe bone disease and multiple fractures, has been airlifted from Abhayaranyam in Kerala to Vantara in Jamnagar, Gujarat, for specialized treatment. The decision to transfer Maya was made after a medical board recommended euthanasia due to her grave prognosis and brittle bones. Vantara, a wildlife conservation and rehabilitation center, has offered a six-month treatment program that includes advanced procedures such as hormone and gene therapy. Maya will be accompanied by her mahout and a veterinary doctor throughout the treatment process.
