A herd of 15 wild Asian elephants , classified in China as protected animals, for the second month moves through the country, destroying crops and water reservoirs on its way.
Scientists are at a loss: the elephants have traveled more than 500 kilometers and are not going to stop.
The elephants left their habitat in the Yunnan Wildlife Sanctuary quite unexpectedly in April of this year. Since then, they have been deliberately moving somewhere, leaving destruction behind them – according to the authorities, the animals have caused about $ 1 million in damage.
Experts cannot explain the reasons for the mysterious behavior of elephants.
“This happened for the first time in history. This has never happened before. We are at a loss. We need to continue to observe and study this phenomenon, ” says senior researcher at the Shen Qingzhun Nature Reserve.
At the moment, the animals have come close to the city of Kunming with a population of more than 6 million people. Law enforcers monitor the animals with quadcopters and advise residents not to leave their homes.
