China’s wandering elephant herd heads home

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “China’s wandering elephant herd heads home” – below is their description.

A famous elephant herd wandering in southwestern China is finally heading towards home.

The herd of 14 wild Asian elephants crossed the Yuanjiang River in Yuanjiang Country, Yuxi City, Yunnan province, on Sunday night, a progress that the provincial government described as significant. As of Sunday night, the herd was still in Yuanjiang County, about 200km away from their original habitat in south-western Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna.

The elephants attracted worldwide attention after they left the reserve in Yunnan province last year and walked more than 500km north. They reached the outskirts of Kunming, a major city, in early June, before turning south again.
