After around 17 months, a herd of Asian elephants after gaining international notoriety for their unusual wanderings appears to be on its way back home again to Yunnan. The 14 animals were led across the River Yuanjiang. From here, a path should lead them back to the nature reserve in Xishuangbanna Dai, near the border to Myanmar. But it is still a long way to go: Earlier this week, the herd was still some 200 kilometers from its reserve. The wild herd made headlines around the world for seemingly roaming haphazardly through Yunnan, causing extensive damage to property. Aerial photographs showing the animals taking a nap went around the world. Experts continue to puzzle over what might have caused the elephants to leave the nature reserve.
