What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephants body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)-the result of the elephants meeting with a poacher months ago.Todays poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant.

According to the passage, the underlined
