These elephants live in China. They left home over 1 year ago. They tramped through towns.

The elephants ate crops. They trashed yards and fields. Now they are back home.

Read More: A herd of Asian elephants left its home in a nature reserve in Yunnan, China. The beasts wandered north through fields, woodlands, and towns. (People left their towns before the elephants could hurt anyone.) The herd stayed in one place for five months. A mother had a baby! It needed to grow before it could trek along with the herd. Police and wildlife officers used cars, trucks, fences, and food to coax the animals home. Read about King Solomon’s throne of ivory in 1 Kings 10:18-20. Elephant tusks (long teeth) are ivory.
