    Wild animals take to streets as nature reserve in India flooded

    As one of the largest wildlife reserves in India was almost completely flooded following a torrential rainfall today, local animals found themselves in the middle of neighboring cities.

    "Here a huge elephant family crossing a road during floods for safely moving towards higher elevation at Kaziranga. Do remember to give them space & time to cross roads. Drive slowly inside wildlife areas during monsoon. Help in spreading the message," one twitter posted alongside a video of the episode.

    According to reports, 66 of the wild animals from the reserve have perished during the day's flooding with 170 rescued. At least 80% of the park is completely submerged. More than 2 million individuals have been affected by the ongoing disaster.
