00:00We've just measured this elephant, it is in fact going to fit in the crate.
00:04Now we've got some straps around its legs, we're going to winch it and crane it onto
00:09this truck and then we're going to try and put it into the wake-up box.
00:12We're not out of the woods yet.
00:16So this elephant on the scale I think it measured 7 tonnes.
00:33It's just incredible to see an animal this size and one of the reasons why they're getting
00:38so big in this area is because they're coming into the communities, eating all the local
00:43communities' crops, there's lots of bananas, lots of potatoes and lots of maize and I think
00:50it's just an attribute to that as to why they're so large.
