“They cannot spend too much time in a place because they will consume all the resources,” said Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz, a professor and an expert in human-elephant conflict.The elephant's trail of slapstick trouble has been picked up on video along the way by swarms of drones tasked with monitoring them, as well as the country’s vast network of surveillance cameras.
That adds up to a lot of bananas and bamboo. So the herd has to keep moving in order to satisfy its appetites.
