An elephant rests after being shot with a tranquiliser dart by the Kenya Wildlife Service veterinary officials at the Maasai Mara National Reserve March 18, 2008. Elephants had been fitted with GPS collars in August 2006 to monitor their ranging and movement patterns and establish whether the population remained in the Mara region. The exercise on Tuesday was to de-collar the elephants and study their movements based on information gathered from the the collar. REUTERS/Antony Njuguna (KENYA)
