Many people from Yunnan province often claim to have seen wild animals, including elephants, roaming local streets, as the province is known as the nation s kingdom of wildlife .
However, such claims have recently been verified beyond a doubt.
Video footage taken on Thursday in the Eshan Yi autonomous county shows a herd of 15 wild Asian elephants roaming the streets in a downtown area at night after leaving their habitat in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in the south of Yunnan last year.
