00:00People feel homesick when they are far from home, and so do elephants.
00:03However, it is extremely difficult for elephants to return home.
00:05A heartbreaking scene has unfolded on the East-West Highway in Perak in recent days.
00:09An adult bear-elephant was limping forward.
00:13Upon closer inspection, his right foot was also injured.
00:15This internet-famous wild elephant named Sulong
00:18Because the missile was banished to the Thunder Forest
00:21Driven by instinct, he embarked on the long journey back to Kelantan.
00:25The fishing boat has already traveled 300 kilometers.
00:27He traveled non-stop even at night in order to get home.
00:30After this journey home, which involved traversing mountains and valleys, was exposed...
00:33Many netizens exclaimed that they felt so sorry for her.
00:36According to multiple local media reports
00:38This wild elephant had previously been caught trespassing on farmland in the Kelantan area.
00:42Damage to crops sparks human conflict
00:44They were later transferred by the Wildlife Conservation Department to the Perak Yili Forest.
00:49However, the relocation was short-lived, starting from August 17th.
00:51People began arriving at the east-west avenue from Yili to Rili.
00:56His whereabouts were captured.
00:57According to footage taken by netizens
00:59Sulong's massive body walked on the shoulder of the road beside the highway.
01:02The pace was very slow.
01:04Sometimes I stop by the roadside to look for time.
01:06Netizens speculated based on his route
01:07Su Long seems to be heading in the direction originally intended for Qixi Festival, where he would paint a picture of a promising life.
01:12They traversed the Didiwangsha Mountains.
01:14Walked more than 300 kilometers
01:16He not only traveled day and night, but also made his way in the dark at night.
01:20When they got tired, they stopped in front of people's houses to rest for a while.
01:24Even with a visibly injured right forefoot, she didn't stop walking home.
01:28Many netizens felt very emotional.
01:31Many people left comments suggesting that he might be homesick.
01:33Go Sulong!
01:34I'll be home in a little while.
01:37Everyone was deeply moved by his perseverance in insisting on going home despite his injuries.
01:41The attention drawn by Su Long
01:43The Perak Wildlife Conservation Department has just confirmed...
01:46They are continuously monitoring Surong's activities on the East-West Avenue.
01:49And it was confirmed that his right foreleg was injured.
01:52However, the overall behavior is currently normal.
01:54They also have good foraging abilities.
01:55Moreover, the wound on my leg is healing.
01:58They also arranged for a veterinarian to assess his physical condition.
02:01Currently, authorities are monitoring twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
02:04And continue to guide the wild elephants back to the forest.
02:08Su Long recently became a sensation.
02:09More and more people stop to take photos and videos as they pass by.
02:13Some people even wanted to get closer to see him.
02:15However, the Wildlife Bureau specifically reminded...
02:17If an elephant appears on the road
02:18Do not stop your car to watch.
02:20Do not get out of the car and approach.
02:21Don't block traffic to film videos.
02:24The most important thing is not to feed him.
02:26Don't leave food on the roadside.
02:28This could very likely cause the wild elephants to become increasingly accustomed to it.
02:30Close to highways and people
02:32This actually increases the risk of accidents involving human figures.
02:35So Sulong, who misses home
02:37Will Sulong be able to successfully complete his journey home?
02:39Besides relying on his own perseverance
02:41It also requires the cooperation of the public.
02:42Minimize interference
02:45What happened after Surong returned to Kelantan?
02:47Can he live peacefully in his habitat?
02:49This also deserves the authorities' continued attention.
02:51Do you think Surong can complete his mission to return home?
