Thrissur: On Tuesday, they discovered the baby elephant roaming around with a large herd in a state-run plantation corporation's farm and took pictures of it.

The calf has yet to be found, according to the local forest authority, and a search is being conducted to find it.

A senior official said as per the information provided by the local people, it was found in the Ezhattumugham area within the Athirappally range.

"We are searching for it...As of now, we have only information provided by the local people," Nithin, forest range officer, Athirappally, told PTI.

When asked whether the absence of the trunk could be a genetic disorder or due to the attack of other animals, the officer said the more likely possibility was because of the attack by animals like tigers.

"Tigers usually attack elephant calves. There are chances of suffering injuries in its trunk during such attacks," he added.

The video of the trunkless baby jumbo playing with its mother went viral on social media.
