A wild Asian elephant wandered into a temporary border checkpoint in southwest China's Yunnan Province in the early hours of Friday, prompting police and auxiliary officers to evacuate to safety.⁣ ⁣ The elephant approached the checkpoint in Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County of Pu'er, bypassed barriers and traffic cones, and eventually walked away.⁣ ⁣ Officers followed established procedures, withdrawing to safe areas and ensuring no disturbance to the elephant, personnel or facilities.⁣ ⁣ #elephant #checkpoint #animals⁣
