Jaldapara National Park, located in West Bengal, has reported the unfortunate deaths of five rhino cubs in 2023. These deaths are suspected to be caused by a tapeworm infestation, as confirmed by forest officials. This incident raised concerns among conservationists, as the park is renowned for its population of one-horned rhinoceroses. The park authorities are now focused on addressing the tapeworm threat to prevent further losses in the rhino population, which is a critical species in the region.
