🐘 More than 400 people and 14 drones were deployed by local Chinese authorities on Monday to lead a herd of 15 wandering elephants away from residential areas in the southwest of the country.
Authorities have been tracking the Asian elephants ever since they left the Mengyangzi Nature Reserve in Xishuangbanna in March 2020. They have caused more than $1m worth of damage but their journey has gone viral and the world has been watching with interest.
There are 15 elephants in the herd, including three calves and they have traveled over 500km to reach the outskirts of the city of Kunming.
