Thermal drones monitoring elephant herds in eastern Maharashtra obtained images of the animals sleeping. This is the second time the team has been able to monitor this behaviour.

Sagnik Sengupta, co-founder of Stripes and Green Earth (SAGE) Foundation, whose team has been tracking the elephants, told mid-day that the use of thermal drones has aided them immensely in tracking the herd's activity in the Vidarbha region.
