The Sumatran elephant didn’t make it. The puppy with the proboscis damaged by a trap set up in the Indonesian forest by poachers died at one year of age.
The hapless elephant found himself trapped by the criminals’ weapon and was left behind by his family. A group of residents from the city of Aceh Jaya, on the island of Sumatra, released him and immediately took him to a recovery center. The operators did everything possible to save him by immediately amputating his trunk. But the baby elephant could not endure the infection caused by the wounds.

“We did everything. We couldn’t save him because the injuries were too serious and had caused an infection,” he told the Bbc, And Arianto, head of the Aceh Natural Resource Conservation agency.
Sumatran elephants have been classified as endangered due to deforestation in Borneo and Sumatra and poaching. In July, an adult male was found decapitated with his fangs removed.
