A herd of wandering elephants are finally heading for home after a 17-month, 300-mile trek across China that has captivated the world. The herd was spotted roaming across a plantation in Yuanjiang county, Yunnan Province, on Saturday, around 125 miles north of their home nature reserve in southern Yunnan. The elephants were spotted on Saturday (pictured) near Ganzhuang community in Yuanjiang county, Yuxi city, Yunnan Province. Some experts believe the mammoth journey could also be to do with the social dynamics of the herd. Another expert said the photos of the elephants sleeping in a forest near Kunming, in China's southwest Yunnan province, is uncommon.
