    "A 40-year-old elephant has died while serving travelers at a tourist site in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, while a gayal has also beathed its last in Ninh Thuan Province in the south-central region.

    The People’s Committee of Krong Na Commune, Buon Don District in Dak Lak said on Sunday that local agencies have made a report about the death of the elephant.

    The animal died of exhaustion while serving tourists at the Ban Don tourist area, according to news website VietNamNet.

    Another news website reported that the animal met its end while carrying tourists in the site."
