Special road signs have been put up along a newly opened highway near a natural reserve in Yunnan to remind drivers to guard against running into wild elephants that frequently cross the road.

Elephants from the State natural reserve in Xishuangbanna of Yunnan Province have been known to have crossed the highway 11 times in the past three months, experts said in their latest report.

Last month, an elephant even collided with a buggy.
