Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home Veterinary Surgeon Dr. Tharaka Prasad treated the sick animal and said it was now out of danger. Meanwhile the ECO-TEAM, an NGO dedicated to protecting the wildlife, donated a cage for the sick bear on the request of Dr. Prasad. The bear is being fed with honey, milk, and meat.
