After a conflict with locals attempting to protect farmland in the Khon Buri district of this northern Thai province on Saturday night, about 60 exotic elephants retreated.
At least 20 exotic animals were spotted by participants around 9 o’clock on Saturday near the Thap Lan National Park’s limit. In Taling Chan town, the wild animals appeared to be grazing on cassava, sugar, and wire fields.
About 50 participants were then mobilised to fight the hippos. They shouted to frighten away the species.
The elephant roared and more of them showed up along a five-kilometer bend of the border between the community and the regional area. Participants counted about 60 in full within 300 feet of the community.
The participants then drove along the border in about 10 different vehicles, including large trucks. To stop the animals from approaching the land, they yelled and lit fireworks and firecrackers. Nevertheless, the wild animals regrouped into large flocks of 40-50 each.
The elephants eventually retreated into the national park at 3 a.m. on Sunday, after the conflict ended.
