Elephant Census in South Karnataka Concludes Despite Rain

Elephant Census in South Karnataka Concludes Despite Rain

Scientists in South Karnataka counted elephants for three days to see how many there are.

They looked at where the elephants live and how old they are.

It rained a lot on the last day, which made it hard to count the elephants at the watering holes.

Even though the rain made the last day harder, the scientists still collected good information on the first two days.

The goal is to understand the elephant population and help stop problems between elephants and people.

South India has the most elephants in the country, so it's important to keep track of them.
