When it comes to the business of moving elephants, Dr. Amir Khalil and his team might be the best. The work experience of this Egyptian animal doctor includes possibly the most famous elephant relocation ever.In 2020, Khalil's team saved Kaavan, an Asian elephant, from years of loneliness at a zoo in Pakistan. They flew him to Cambodia, where he could live a happier life at an elephant reserve. The relocation project was a great success.After that, there was Charley, an African elephant in South Africa. Charley had been living in Pretoria Zoo for more than 20 years. Since his partner passed away in 2020, he was extremely unhappy. Elephants are very sensitive animals. Zoo officials hoped that he could spend his remaining years in a better place. His new home was going to be a private game reserve 200 kilometres away.Charley was captured (捕获) in Zimbabwe in the 1980s. He spent 16 years in a circus and then 23 years at the zoo. It is estimated that he is 42 years old and has been in captivity for 40 years.As an animal rescue specialist, Khalil was selected for this task. Two other doctors, who had participated in Kaavan's relocation, also joined in. They met Charley two years ago to assess whether he was ready for relocation and to earn his trust.They trained Charley to enter a transport container by using his favourite foods such as pumpkins. To everyone's surprise, he was ready in less than two weeks.In late August, Charley was moved to the Shambala reserve. At first, he will be kept in a separate area to adapt to the new environment. It is quite rare for captive elephants to be returned to the wild. Khalil praised the zoo and the government. At Shambala, Charley will be free and might recall his early life. He has already started communicating with other elephants. （1） What did Dr. Amir Khalil's team do in 2020? A . They helped transport an Asian elephant to Cambodia. B .
