 The team are ready early morning for the capture operation ahead. |
 A helicopter is used to identify family groups of elephants from the air. The elephants are then immobilized by using a dart gun. |
 Once immobilized, the ground crew start working as quickly as possible. The elephants are protected against dehydration by spraying them with water. |
 Blood and hair samples are taken for scientific analysis. |
 The field vehicle is fitted with a crane to load and unload animals. |
 The elephants are then loaded onto a recovery truck, where an antidote to the immobilizing is administered. Care is taken to keep the trunk of the elephant open at all times to avoid suffocation. |
 The elephants are transported in specially designed containers to keep them from swaying in the airplane. The containers are loaded into the aircraft. |
 In the Quiçama National Park, a bulldozer is used to make a ramp for the elephants to walk out of the crates on. |
 Eland and kudu are released into the Quiçama National Park shortly after the elephants. |
 An eland looks around at its new home. |
