250 animals perish in Kaziranga floods, fodder scarcity looms

Of those rescued, many, including one rhino and 60 Hog Deer, have been released back in the wild, officials said. Over 70 elevated platforms -- or man-made highlands -- in the park also helped save many animals. However not all the elevated platforms could withstand this year's floods. "We are planning to get more of these highlands in the park," Das said.
