Wildlands Emmen faces heartbreak as a second elephant calf, Ka Yan, dies just days after another calf, Nagarr, succumbed to the elephant herpes virus. Ka Yan exhibited similar symptoms to Nagarr, prompting further investigation by veterinarians at Utrecht University. Elephants carry a form of this virus, which poses severe risks, especially to young elephants. Currently, preventive measures and treatments for this virus are still in research phases, highlighting an urgent need for solutions to protect elephants both in the wild and captivity.
