The young elephant had been destroying crops and raiding homes in southern Sri Lanka after becoming separated from his herd months ago. He had become such a nuisance that a team of vets from the Sri Lanka Air Force were forced to step in to help forest officials capture him. The rescuers expertly looped rope around the elephant's hooves before walking him onto the back of a waiting truck.
