Teargas targets Mozambique's unruly elephants

"The silence of the night here is broken by the clanging of metal as frightened villagers try to scare off the elephants.

But it is not working.

The villagers are also sleeping in their fields in a bid to protect them, but every year around 20 are killed by the enraged elephants.

They charge them, slap them down with their trunks before kneeling on them to finish them off."
