  • Elephants are not only the largest land mammals on Earth. They are also among the most endearing: an irresistible mix of intelligence, dexterity and shear power.
    Comprised of over 100,000 individual muscles, the elephant’s trunk is the world’s most versatile nose. At various times it functions as hand, weapon, drinking straw, vacuum cleaner, snorkel and eating utensil. Combine this with a pair of tusks which are, in fact, the world’s longest teeth and the elephant presents an extremely formidable face.
    These powerful pachyderms are able to adapt to almost any African habitat. In the Kunene desert, they trek for days in search of precious water to drink. In the rainforest of Ghana, the smaller, more agile elephants face different challenges. In rarely captured footage, the forest elephants are seen spraying themselves with half-chewed food and saliva to cool down.
    Wherever they find themselves, elephants are fiercely familial. They travel in herds and keep in touch with each other using 30 different long-distance, low-frequency calls. This way, group members can call home from over 8 kilometers away.
    Science has only recently revealed a rare new elephant ailment known as ‘floppy trunk syndrome’. Thought to be a new type of virus or the result of eating toxic introduced plants, the result is that the animal loses all control of its trunk. There is no recovery and, unable to feed properly, there is little hope of survival.
    With stunning visuals, the latest scientific research and rare elephant behavior, we tell The Whole Story on Africa’s great grey giants.

    The sad thing is; it's only the people that care about Elephants and animals in general, that will watch this excellently presented documentary.
    Not the companies and people that obliterate it all willingly in the name of money.
    Not a care for the World.
    EDIT: Nature is incredible on all sorts of amazing and magic like levels. Thought I should end my comment on a positive note.
    Take care you all and have a kind and caring 2022.

    I, for one, enjoyed this doc...even spent some time in Kenya studying these magnificent mammals back in 2001, regarding the Floppy Trunk Syndrome....maybe they could come up with a Viagra-type pill for this malady?? Lol.....

    The hyrax looks like a rodent. Are they sure it's related to elephants? 🐱🐱

      Yes, one zero too much there. A fully grown female's weight is around 3.000 kilos. A big bull can weigh more than 6.000 kilos.
