A drone(无人机) has taken photos and video of an elephant herd(兽群) taking a snooze in the outskirts(郊区) of Kunming, China. The elephants stopped for a rest after a long journey from their forest home. According to reports, 15 elephants have walked 500 kilometres since leaving their home—a nature reserve in southwest Yunnan last spring. And no one knows why they’re on the move.
The elephants have been causing quite the stir online. Millions of people watched livestreams (直播) of the elephants on Weibo, China’s second largest social media platform. Viewers are crazy about the three little elephants in the herd, including one who was born during the great journey.
The elephants have also caused a lot of trouble by stepping everything heavily and carelessly in their path , including crops and buildings. But since elephants receive A-level state protection in China, authorities have been quietly monitoring the herd’s movements with drones. And to keep the elephants away from crowded cities, either roads are being blocked with construction trucks or food is being used as something to attract them.
