The Terengganu Department of Wildlife and National Parks successfully captured a wild male elephant in Kampung Kolam, Ajil, addressing local safety concerns.

The elephant, with a 15-inch paw print, was detained by a team of six and is being fed banana trunks twice daily while awaiting relocation.

The operation followed a report of the elephant's presence in the area, and residents are urged to stay away to prevent causing stress to the animal.

KUALA BERANG, Sept 12 — The Terengganu Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) captured a wild male elephant that was roaming in Kampung Kolam, Ajil, near here on Thursday.

Its director, Dennis Ten Choon Yung said the animal, which had a paw print size of 15 inches (0.381 metres), was captured by six Perhilitan members before being tethered at the same location around 5.30 pm.
