A runaway elephant that was part of a herd trekking 500km north in the past few months has been captured and returned to its original habitat in Mengyangzi Nature Reserve, southern Yunnan province.
The herd of 15 – originally 17 – elephants left their home months ago in a search of new habitat and entered the outskirts of the provincial capital Kunming last month. On June 6, one elephant left the herd, while others gradually headed back south.
