A domesticated elephant that had been bought by the Dak Lak conservation center last month and treated for injuries died on Thursday.


Dak Lak has spent billions of dong to rescue six elephants, nurse them back to health and release them back in the wild.
The center said Dak Lak currently has around 80 wild elephants in the Yok Don national park and 37 domesticated ones.
