Once described as the world's loneliest, Elefant, 36 year old has spent most of his life languishing alone at a zoo in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

He's now headed for a wildlife century in rural Cambodia, home to hundreds of other elephants.

The American singer share, who has spent years campaigning for his relocation, was at the airport and see and rip toe welcome him.

One of the vets from Four Paws, who accompanied Carbon on this flight, said he had been relaxed and even slept on the journey on the tarmac.

His crate, which weighed more than 10 tons, was hoisted onto a flatbed truck and he was taken onto his new home.

Hours later, Carvin was taking his first tentative steps at the colon printed wildlife century.
