Reportedly officials said the incident occurred after a baby elephant slipped over the waterfall in central Thailand's Khao Yai National Park. Meanwhile two other elephants were also found struggling on a cliff edge nearby, and have been moved by Thai authorities and the waterfall, known as Haew Narok (Hell's Fall), has a history of similar incidents.

Accordingly a herd of eight elephants died after falling in 1992, in a case that brought national attention. Perhaps Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) said officials were called to the scene on Saturday at 03:00 local time (20:00 GMT on Friday) when a group of elephants was blocking a road by the waterfall, and three hours later, the body of a three year old elephant was spotted near the base of Haew Narok, and five others were discovered nearby.



Moreover Khanchit Srinoppawan, chief of the national park, told that the two remaining elephants were being monitored. Perhaps Edwin Wiek, the founder of Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, said the pair may have difficulty surviving as elephants rely on their large herds for protection and finding food. Apparently the incident could also take an emotional toll. Elephants have been known to display signs of grief.
