Bali Zoo's Sumatran Elephant Found Dead After Being Swept Away By River
Officials observe the carcass of a 45-year-old female Sumatran elephant named Molly, found dead at a riverbank after being carried away by a strong river current from Bali Zoo, in Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia, on December 17, 2024. Molly is swept away by an overflowing river due to heavy rainfall upstream while being guided by her mahout back to a holding area after a routine socialization activity. (Photo by Johanes P.
