But these animals are in danger. Rapid developments in Sri Lanka has pushed humans farther out into the wild, building homes and farms and factories in areas where the elephants live. These remarkably intelligent creatures are learning to live alongside humans, but that means they're destroying farmlands, evading fences and even holding up cars at times on the road to demand food. And farmers tried to protect their lands with firecrackers, flash grenades, sometimes guns to keep the elephants away. And the elephants will often attack and kill the people they encounter. More than one elephant today is dying from human activity and one person every two days from elephant attacks. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh traveled to Sri Lanka to witness this deadly conflict, and over the next hour, he's going to show you just how intense these battles can be and what the elephants are doing to survive in this new world. Some of the images in this hour may be disturbing to watch. See less
