In a recent collaring mission, a team of ecologists, vets, trackers and rangers identified a herd. A marksman darted the matriarch from a distance.

Rangers with rifles kept watch.Once the collar was secured, an antidote was administered, and the matriarch staggered off into the wild, flapping its ears.
