Six elephants intruded into a villager's home for food in southwestern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Pu'er City in Yunnan Province on June 24.

According to villager Aliche, the elephants consumed corn and pig feed from his yard before leaving. The area surrounding their village is dense with pristine forests, where elephant sightings are common, but entering homes is unprecedented and bold.

Residents typically apply for insurance compensation if property damage occurs. Yixiang Town government stated they utilise a specialised elephant alert app to closely monitor elephant activities, issuing timely warnings to villagers to ensure their safety.

6月24日，监控拍下云南普洱倚象镇有六头大象进入村民家中觅食。
据村民阿利车称，大象吃了院内的玉米和猪饲料便离开。自己的村子周边都是原始森林，时常会有大象出现在村里，已经习以为常，但进入自己的家还是第一次，这次它们胆子有些大。平常村民们若有物品被损坏，可申请保险赔偿。 当地政府也高度重视此事。倚象镇政府表示，他们有专用的大象预警APP，一直在密切监测象群的活动情况，并会在第一时间向村民发布预警，以确保大家的安全。
