China’s wild elephants seek room to roam as habitats shrink
In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province, China, a female elephant was recently spotted grazing and bathing in the muddy water near a footbridge. Normally, visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the animals should wait until February or March, when the females are looking for mates, according to Qin Ganglin, a protection officer at the Wild Elephant Valley. He noted that the elephants don't come out very often at this time of year, and only sporadically.0
