An elephant has finished a 3 year rehab after developing a heroin addiction.
The bull elephant, called Xiguang, was fed heroin-laced bananas by his captors in South-West China so he could be easily controlled.
Xiguang, which is translated as 'Big Brother', was given a year of methadone injections to help with his rehabilitation. He will now be moved to a wildlife park in the province of Kunming.
Asian elephants are hunted for their ivory. There are less then 30,000 left in the wild.
