The 15 wild Asian elephants that went on a 1,400-kilometer "exodus" in 2021 in Southwest China's Yunnan Province are now back in their original habitat in Xishuangbanna and the two calves born during their trek have grown to 300 kilograms, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration revealed on Monday.
At the Monday conference, Li Chunliang, deputy director of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, presented a photo taken of four elephants including two calves which drew much public attention back in 2021 because they were born during the trek. The photo was taken by frontline monitoring staff.
According to Li, the calves are living a very healthy life and have grown to an estimated 300 kilograms now. They weighed 100 kilograms when they were born.
