Wandering elephant returned to reserve in China

A wandering elephant was returned to a nature reserve in China on Wednesday after leaving it last year.

The male elephant was one of 16 that left Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve and traveled more than 300 miles, the government said, The Associated Press reported on Thursday.

The 10-year-old elephant was tranquilized near the city of Yuxi after he left the rest of the herd more than a month ago and was taken back to the reserve by truck, China Daily reported.

The elephant was sent back since it was traveling too close to populated areas.
