The stomach of a dead wild elephant was found to contain over 25 kg of polythene, according to Wild Life officials in the Polonnaruwa District.
A wild elephant was found dead on the main road between Polonnaruwa and Batticaloa yesterday (24). It had fallen on a garbage dump which contained polythene bags and plastic bottles.
The Wild Life officials, who went to the scene to examine the carcass of the elephant, carried out an autopsy with the help of a veterinary surgeon, sources said.
The surgeon who had performed the autopsy at the spot where the animal had collapsed found polythene weighing 25kg in its stomach sources added.
Further examination confirmed that the dead elephant was 30 years old.
The Wild Life officials said that due to garbage being dumped on the roadside wild elephants come out of the forests to eat the waste.Despite the elephant –human conflict in the Eastern Province having led to the death of elephants and humans on a large scale, the new phenomenon is the death of wild animals due to the consumption of polythene and plastic waste dumped on the roadsides in the jungle areas.
The Wild Life officials had also confirmed that in recent times nearly eleven elephants had died due to consuming the polythene and plastic waste dumped on the roadside.
