A zoo in Colombia has carried out an operation on a five-tonne African elephant with a broken tusk.

30 people took part in the procedure, which took three hours.

Tantor was brought to Colombia illegally by drug traffickers and was rescued from a ranch.

Vet Dr Carlos Sanchez told 5 live: "Not only the Ochoa brothers, but also Pablo Escobar had exotic animals at that time, when they were very powerful. You name it, they could have anything they wanted."

Tantor is now making a full recovery.
