Elephant in highway rampage
Print Edition
Forest rangers and police in southwest China鈥檚 Yunnan Province are struggling to control a wild elephant that has launched three attacks on parked cars on a major highway in four days.
Its latest rampage along the G213 highway linking Yunnan with northwest China鈥檚 Gansu Province came on Monday afternoon, when it damaged nine cars, forest police in Xishuangbanna Prefecture said.
The elephant, nicknamed Zhusunya (Bamboo Shoot Teeth), had already crushed or damaged almost 20 cars in two strolls on the highway on Friday and Sunday. There have been no human casualties from its sorties, near the nature reserve Yexianggu (Wild Elephant Valley).
After receiving a report from the reserve at 4:40pm on Monday, police officers closed the affected section of the highway and evacuated tourists.
The lone male, who had recently lost a fight over a mate, returned to nearby woods at around 11pm.
