A handout photo made available by the Management and Ecology of Malaysian Elephants (MEME) on 19 June 2017 shows a dead two-year-old baby elephant that was reportedly killed by a car on the side of the Gerik-Jeli Highway, Perak state, Malaysia, 17 June 2017. “We have already erected signboards to notify motorists that there would be elephants crossings along the stretch of the highway, so they need to be more responsible, especially when they are driving late at night or early in the morning”, Perak Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) director Loo Kean Seong said. Highways across Malaysia warn motorists with signs to be aware of wildlife crossing roads. (Photo by Alicia Solana-Mena/EPA/Meme)
