Team of experts conducting post-mortem on Monday

Scotching reports that three elephants in Deogarh's Damdami Hill in Prabhasuni Reserve Forest died due to anthrax, investigation by a veterinary team has attributed the cause to lightning.

Prof Niranjan Sahu, who headed the team, said dehydration and putrefaction levels of the three elephants were the same. The level of dehydration five days after the death is a symptom of lightning, he said. Lightning as a cause is considered very unusual.

The investigation team found that the pachyderms - two female and a calf - were found dead in close proximity. In case of a disease, the level of dehydration and putrefaction will not be the same while the animals are not likely drop dead in the same place. Same theory applies to poisoning too.

Prof Sahu of Odisha University if Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) performed the autopsy on the three elephants at the spot on Monday in presence of RCCF, Rourkela, Lingraj Ota and Deogarh DFO, Binay Kumar Biswasi on Monday. The team also comprises Dr Sourabh Hota, Dr Haresh Kumar Dalai, both from OUAT, Sub-Divisional Veterinary Officer Dr Ranjit Samantray and Tileibani Veterinary surgeon Dr Satyabrata Mishra.

There are no immediate reports of damage.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on Tuesday (Jun 14), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, and no tsunami warning was issued.

Vanuatu is part of the "Ring of Fire", a zone of tectonic activity around the Pacific that is subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

The quake struck at a depth of 131 kilometres (81 miles), 92 kilometres northwest of the town of Isangel on Tanna island, USGS said.

Vanuatu has been rocked by a series of quakes this year, including some that prompted tsunami warnings.

Striped Hyena

Four teenagers suffered bite wounds in what they claimed was an attack by a hyena in Tarsadi village near Kosamba early on Monday.

In the early morning, the animal tried to drag away Sabir who suffered severe injuries in one eye. The animal escaped after the boys raised an alarm.

Civil defence officials in Colombia say that a deadly landslide occurred at around 14:00 on 10 June in Chocó Department, between Quibdó and Medellín.

Colombia's agency for disaster risk management (Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres - UNGRD) report that 8 people have died, 5 are missing and 4 injured. The President of Colmbia, Juan Manuel Santos, offered his condolences to the victims. Teams from the Red Cross and Defensa Civil Colombiana are carrying out searches in the area.

The landslide was triggered by heavy rain that has affected wide areas of Colombia over the last few days. Istmina, about 130 km south of Quibdó, recorded 170 mm of rain in 24 hours between 08 and 09 June.

The vital communications route between Quibdó in Chocó department and Medellín in Antioquia has been blocked by the slide.

A sizable quake rattled the mountains west of Yellowstone Park Monday morning, registering a 4.3 magnitude.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake hit at 6:14 a.m. Monday with the epicenter about 32 miles west of West Yellowstone.

That would put the quake's location north of the Continental Divide, in the Centennial Valley.

The area is sparsely populated, and even an hour after the quake only a couple of people had reported feeling the quake to U.S.G.S.

The region on the west side of Yellowstone frequently has several small quakes per month, but Monday's quake was larger than usual.
