Meanwhile, Veda, a 12-year-old elephant, gave birth to the calf around 5.30 pm in the forest outside the park limits. The forest guards informed the BBP officers, who are expected to bring back the mother and calf to the BBP today.

However, there was a bit of bad news too. The condition of Guru, a 15-year-old lion suffering from renal failure since January 1, is said to be critical. The lion has not been eating for the past week and is being given a liquid diet.
