A wild herd of wandering elephants takes a rest after 500km trek across China
The herd of 15 wild Asian elephants has covered a 500km stretch on a journey that began over a year ago when they left their designated elephant protection zone in Xishuangbanna, near China’s border with Myanmar.
They are believed to be headed northwest, though the reason behind this migration is unknown.
The group took a break on Monday, during which they were captured sleeping together in a patch of forest on the outskirts of southwest China’s Kunming.
