Wildlife wardens saw him in distress looking 07 around for his mother. Usually, a herd does not move on when a calf goes missing but in this 08 case, both the mother and the herd had traveled about 2.5 miles (4 km) away. “Mostly, the herd 09 moves away but a smaller group hangs around to locate the missing calf. But sometimes the 10 herd, particularly in an area where there is animal-human conflict, moves away for safety. The 11 matriarch has to choose between the welfare of the herd and the welfare of one calf,” said Kartick 12 Satyanarayan, the chief executive of Wildlife SOS. 13 Once the calf was found, a day after he was separated, drones were used to locate the herd. 14 Before taking the calf to the herd, forest officials bathed him and spread mud on him to reduce 15 any human smells. “It means the mother and aunts will welcome the calf back and it reduces 16 their anxiety about any human imprint,” said Satyanarayan. The calf was then bundled onto a 17 truck to be taken for the reunion. The staff were asked to monitor the mother and calf for a few 18 days more and that is how they came across the two of them having a quiet nap.
