Summary

In the first of a three part Elephants Among Us series of Our Wild World, we will explore the savannah elephants of Africa. Elephants are highly intelligent, emotional and social beings and you’ll learn all about their strong family bonds, their social behavior, the different roles of males and females, their unique anatomy, and the truly amazing discoveries being made on how elephants communicate. Elephants are the gardeners and architects of Africa spreading seeds and creating habitat wherever they go. Yet they could disappear within our lifetime due to poaching, habitat loss, and climate change without our help. You’ll also learn about brave ethologists such as Iain Douglas-Hamilton, Cynthia Moss, and Joyce Poole who have contributed vastly to our knowledge of these remarkable creatures and have dedicated their lives to elephant conservation. My wife, Christina and I have studied elephants in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Uganda, and are own adventures will be included. Finally, be sure to check out our companion Our Wild World website, Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, or X pages to see pictures of the elephants discussed in these podcasts.
