An unexpected hero emerged in China's fight against drugs as a wild elephant stumbled upon a backpack containing 6 pounds of opium.

The incident occurred near Mengman Township in Yunnan Province, where police were patrolling due to reports of elephants in the area.

One elephant in a passing herd stopped to investigate the grass, revealing the hidden bag. Inside, officers found a sealed package containing 2.8 kilograms of opium-based drugs.

Drug trafficking is a growing concern in the region due to the dense vegetation that criminals exploit to hide narcotics. The Asian elephant, classified as "endangered", faces habitat loss and poaching threats.
