In March last year, 16 wild Asian elephants started from Xishuangbanna all the north, through Pu 'er, Yunnan Province, Pu' er City, Yuanjiang County, Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yuxi Eshan County, Hongta District, and finally arrived in Kunming. A small elephant was born along the way, and two other elephants returned to Mojiang County.

Good opportunity to think about human-animal relationships

Now the elephant group is in the border between Kunming and Yuxi. Where they go next, no one can give an accurate answer. The academia and the people have conducted all kinds of speculation.

Some people say that their original habitat has deteriorated, food is reduced, they must run away in search for new food sources; Some people say that migration is the animal instinct, this incident is just an accident; Others said they were affected by magnetic violence; others said the herd was lost …

Whatever the reason, the 15 elephants walked nearly 500 kilometers, enjoyed the high-standard free travel, was warmly welcomed by the local residents, and truly achieved people and elephants peace!
