Cameras placed for wildlife surveillance in both Southwest and Northeast China have recently captured rare activities of Asian elephants and Siberian tigers, both of which are endangered species under State protection. On Friday, forest rangers in Yunnan province reported that a herd of Asian elephants with 17 members had traveled tens of kilometers from its habitat in Mojiang county to Yuanjiang county.
