INTERNATIONAL: They’ve captured the hearts of a nation over the past five months and now their great trek is at an end. Fourteen wild elephants have returned to their protected habitat in southwest China's Yunnan province. Footage on EAC News shows the elephants safely crossing a bridge over the Yuan River, headed south towards their nature reserve.
