Authorities in Yunnan Province, southern China, say the male elephant
wandered out of a reservation area on Friday after a failed courtship
and started playing with cars parked along a highway, damaging more than
a dozen vehicles.
The government of Xishuangbanna prefecture said the animal recently lost to another male elephant in a battle for the affections of a female, and that his temperament was moody.
They said the elephant did not hurt any of the tourists who had crowded
the area during the Lunar New Year holiday, and who were very excited to
see the elephant.
It said 15 cars were dented and that the elephant later returned to the
reservation area.
