Dehradun: A tusker was found dead in the core area of Corbett Tiger Reserve, an official said Saturday.
The carcass of the 60-year-old elephant bearing multiple injury marks was spotted by a patrolling team between Gaujpani forest rest house and Dhara Gate in the core area of CTR Friday, the official said.
The deep cuts on its body suggested it died in a territorial fight with another pachyderm, he said, adding, its tusks are intact.
