Watch: A family of elephants migrates from Nilgiris to Sathyamangalam ahead of northeast monsoon

As the southeastern part of the Indian peninsula braces for the northeast monsoon, several southern states including Tamil Nadu are gearing up for the heavy downpours in the next few weeks. With the rainfall predictions looking largely normal, animals have already started migrating from the Western Ghats towards the Eastern Ghats as a part of their seasonal movement. One such video has also surfaced on the internet where a family of elephants can be seen travelling from the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu towards the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve.

The video has been shared by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Supriya Sahu on Twitter. Mentioning that she received the video from a friend, Sahu captioned it with “Friends, it is that time of the year when Elephants migrate from the Western Ghats to the Eastern Ghats as the North East monsoon is around the corner. A beautiful elephant family is travelling from Nilgiris to Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve. Fascinating nature.”

In the video, the elephants can be seen calm and at peace as they move together in the same direction. Many people also took to the comment section and shared their views on the video. While one wrote, “Beautiful sight, thank for sharing”, another commented, “Indeed a beautiful sight to watch them in a herd. The TN rejuvenation camps in Masinagudi were a delight to watch these big animals relish the nutrition and supplements given to them and also the joy they get being in a camp.”

Hope our wildlife and forest cover increases to 33%.
Also I request @PMOIndia for strict animal/wildlife cruelty laws and poaching laws.
