Wild elephant caught on CCTV crossing China-Laos border

The elephant returned to the forest safely

A wild elephant was caught on a surveillance camera crossing the China-Laos border.

The elephant crossed over from China’s Yunnan Province into neighbouring Luang Matha in Laos early on Saturday morning.

Soldiers were dispatched minutes later with flashlights to check the area for the animal.

The elephant returned two hours later crossing the border back into China.
