An elephant in Zimbabwe has been given medical treatment from a conservation group after being shot in the head by some evil poachers.
The elephant was found by veterinarians from Aware Trust Zimbabwe in Mana Pools National Park.
The elephant is believed to have the bullet in his head for between three and six weeks.
Pretty Boy is his nickname, it is thought that Pretty Boy must have come into the park after being shot
A metal detector was used to scan the elephant’s head. The team put him to sleep, took an X-ray and cleaned the wound but they thought it would safer to leave the bullet in his head.
If the shot had hit a few centimetres lower down it would have gone into his brain and Pretty Boy would have died.
The elephant is believed to be around 25 years old.
This is so sad,I think you have done a great job at summarising this. Nice Work :)
