Videos of roving elephants remind me of a rampage I filmed

China Daily  

Aerial photo taken on June 13, 2021 shows the herd of wild Asian elephants sleeping in Shijie township of Yimen county, Yuxi city, Southwest China's Yunnan province. The recent viral videos of wild elephants wandering in a downtown area in Yunnan province immediately reminded me of my own experience watching a herd-perhaps even the same one-destroy buildings in the province's jungle during Spring Festival in 2009. In recent weeks, footage has emerged of 15 elephants that wandered 500 kilometers from the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve into an urban center in Eshan Yi autonomous prefecture and later a suburb of the provincial capital, Kunming. Whenever the creatures stepped out for a minute, staffers taking refuge on the elevated walkway dashed in, crossing the bridge spanning a river between the treehouses and restaurant to retrieve valuables-the cash register, computers and the like.
