KOTA KINABALU: A herd of about 40 to 50 Borneo pygmy elephants are being guided to safer areas following an attack that killed an elderly pillion rider on Friday (Sept 23) in an oil palm estate in Sabah's east coast Tawau.
State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin said state Wildlife Department investigations indicated that the herd was possibly heading towards food sources in the area as fresh oil palm chipping operations were ongoing at the time.
