With the arrival of the Madhubala elephant at Safari Park, the number of elephants will be three.
Madhubala is one of four African elephants treated in Karachi by an eight-member team from the global animal welfare group Four Paws in 2022.
The elephant was suffering for years from a dental infection and pain caused by a broken tusk.
The Four Paws also relocated Kaavan – an elephant dubbed the world’s loneliest – to Cambodia from Islamabad in 2020.
