Synopsis
Documentary about elephants, the world's largest living land animal, weighing up to 7 tons. Their bodies are miracles of engineering with an inflexible skeleton to support their huge bulk, excess skin and ears that act as radiators to cool and a tremendous trunk that is its eating utensil and drinking straw. From communication with low pitched sounds inaudible to the human ear, to the African elephant's ritual of handling the bones of their dead, viewers get a close-up look at the lives of elephants.
