IPOH: Even for a veteran wildlife officer with almost three decades of experience, the image of a mother elephant standing beside her lifeless calf for nearly five hours was too much to bear.
“It was heartbreaking. It felt like she was pleading with us, begging us to save her baby,” said Perak Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) director Yusoff Shariff (pic).
