A veterinarian says experts have saved a sick elephant at a zoo in southern Pakistan.
Veterinarians from the global animal welfare group, Four Paws, lift up an elephant named "Noor Jehan" for her medical check-up at Karachi Zoo, in Karachi, Pakistan, Wednesday, April 5, 2023. Foreign veterinarians visited the sickly elephant at the southern Pakistani zoo amid widespread concern over her well-being and living conditions.
Noor Jehan, 17, was brought to Karachi with three other elephants more than a dozen years ago. Videos of her leaning her head against a tree and struggling to stand have caused alarm in Pakistan. The elephant is experiencing a number of health issues, including arthritis. “We nearly lost her when we gave her sedation, but luckily we had all the necessary preparations, and Noor Jehan stood up again,” said Dr Amir Khalil, who led the team.
