Indian elephant struck by train dies in jungle
December 31, 2024 - Agartala,Tripura, India: A male elephant died in the jungle near Khowai district after it was hit by a speeding train, some 70 km far from Agartala. A 48-hours long battle for life came to an end tonight after the veterinary doctors assigned to monitor the health condition of the ailing wild jumbo confirmed his death. The male elephant endured extreme pain for two days after being hit by a train which had apparently violated the speed limit fixed for the state’s biggest elephant corridor in the Khowai district of Tripura. The forest department engaged a team of four doctors including a specialist from Sepahijala wildlife sanctuary for the postmortem examination which ended on Tuesday evening. The department with the help of local volunteers also arranged a special ritual to bid farewell to the wild tusker. The process of burial started in the evening. The age of the elephant was 35 years, and it was painted by holly vermilion, as forest guards observed a ritual praying for the soul of the elephant, ao that it may be in a better place.

Illuminate Bradford lights up the city centre - Bradford Council will again stage its hugely popular nocturnal mini-festival, Illuminate Bradford in it multi-award winning City Park on 30 November to 2 December. World-leading 3D projection specialists, the Colour Project, who stunned crowds with their dazzling digital animation in 2017, will return with a brand new creation beamed onto the façade of Bradford?s historic City Hall. The Imaginarium will take audiences on a magical journey under the sea, into space and through a mysterious fantasy land. The gigantic animated light show will end with a spectacular finale of light and sound. People will enjoy a wildly absurd live DJ show combining music, performance, dance, song, comparing, comedy and tragedy in DJ Ukebox. From satire to slapstick, this celebration of pop will have audiences dancing and laughing in equal measure. Nothing is off limits in this mad medley of modern music. The Colour Project will also stage eyeSay, a projection piece where collective words and phrases describing Bradford will be shone onto the side of Impressions Gallery. People will be able to try their hand at redesigning the Nat West building in vivid colours in an interactive artwork, eyeSee. Mobile cinemas on tricycles, LightBikes, will illuminate Bradford?s streets, buildings and pavements with colourful and interactive animations. During the festival, people can enjoy funfair rides, browse unique products at a craft market, and grab a delicious bite to eat at the food stalls. Illuminate Bradford - a magical nocturnal mini-festival runs from 30 Friday November to 2 Sunday December throughout City Park and Bradford City Centre. The activities run Friday 5pm to 8.45pm, Saturday 4pm to 8.45pm and Sunday 4pm to 8.15pm. Admission is free.

Feb 16, 2018 -Taif, Saudi Arabia: The large number of baboon monkeys in various tourist spots of Taif Governorate is both a menace and a delight, depending on which side of the divide you are in. For the residents, they are a menace and for the tourists, they are an attraction. The baboons normally live in the mountains, but they come down into the village to look for food in the winter. Following complaints from residents, wildlife research centers in the governorate, in coordination with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, are working toward decreasing the number of monkeys in Al-Hada province. Al-Ribah monkeys that live in Al-Hada are similar to monkeys that live in East Africa and Yemen. A large number of domesticated monkeys live in Al-Taif next to roads, while other monkeys survive by attacking agricultural areas. Some had also spread in the outskirts of cities causing many problems to the municipality and residential areas in the vicinity. Taif is a city in the Mecca Province of southwest Saudi Arabia at an elevation of 1,879 m (6,165 ft) on the slopes of Sarawat Mountains. It has a population of 1,200,000 people and is the unofficial summer capital of the country. The city is the center of an agricultural area known for its grapes, pomegranate, figs, roses and honey.
