Six translocated elephant calves in the national park here are facing a threat, not from poachers but from blood-sucking parasites, prompting the authorities to drug them for temporary relief. Tabanus flies are found in abundance during this time of the year in Manas and there is hardly any place for the calves to wallow without getting bitten, said Bhaskar Choudhury of Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), who is monitoring the elephant rehabilitation project.
