Six wild elephants have been found dead at a waterfall in Thailand after falling into a deep ravine and drowning.
Khao Yai national park officials sighted many elephants gathering on a road near Haew Narok waterfall on Thursday and Friday, according to a report submitted to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
At around 3am on Saturday, officials heard elephant cries coming from the waterfall and went to investigate at dawn.
They discovered a baby elephant, aged about three, drowned in the first tier of the waterfall as two male elephants stood on the edge of the cliff above.
After venturing down the slippery ravine path, park officials discovered the bodies of five adult elephants that had drowned.
Park chief Mr Tunya Netithammakul has since ordered the waterfall to be closed to all visitors.
Officials have also been instructed to move the remaining elephants from the nearby road to prevent them suffering a similar fate.
