Madikeri: The Dubare Elephant Training Camp in Kodagu received a new guest in the form of an elephant calf after it split from the original herd few days ago.

After several efforts to trace its mother turned futile during the last 2-3 days, forest officials finally brought the 6-7 month old to the training camp.

The tiny calf is being fed with grass, greens and water and its health condition closely monitored.

The guest is getting accustomed to the new surroundings under its caretaker cum mahout Jayanna.
