KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife rangers have quelled the threat from a rampaging herd of 30 pygmy elephants that were terrorising a village in Sabah's central region of Telupid over the last three days.

Rangers from the Wildlife Rescue Unit tranquillised two female members of the herd, prior to translocating the two into a the neighbouring Dermakot Forest reserve, in the hope the rest of the herd will make their way back into the forest.
