A herd of elephants that wandered about 500 kilometers in Yunnan province in southwestern China and entered the city area returned to their habitat for the first time in 17 months.

A herd of 15 wild Asian elephants inhabiting a nature reserve near the border between Yunnan, China and southern Myanmar suddenly left their habitat last March and began moving north.



According to the state-owned Xinhua News Agency, the herd traveled about 500 kilometers north, roaming residential areas and gardens, and ruining crops.



Local authorities continued to monitor the drone, including flying it, and in July captured one of them away from the herd and returned it to its habitat.



For the remaining 14 animals, we continued to guide them with food.



As a result, 17 months after the sudden start of migration, the herd finally returned to its habitat.



It's unclear why they traveled such a long distance, and experts said, "It's normal behavior to travel in search of a new home or food, and it may happen in the future." I'm talking to you.
