An elephant is seen in the late afternoon, from inside the forest in Kyar Chaung village

An elephant is seen in the late afternoon, from inside the forest in Kyar Chaung village February 6, 2013. People in Kyar Chaung and surrounding villages some 60 miles (96.5 km) from Yangon live in constant fear of wild elephants after animals started attacking humans some 15 years ago. Every year, an average of seven people die from such attacks in the area, according to the government's forest department. Elephants come close to the villages because of lack of food in the forests where they usually live due to deforestation, villagers say. Picture taken February 6, 2013.
