Elephant: King Of The Kalahari

Botswana is home to more African elephants than anywhere else in the world. Every year, thousands of elephants trek over 7,000 miles in search of food and life-giving water. The desert is a hostile place, especially as the dry season takes hold, so the elephants must use their strength and wit to survive.

Despite the comments below, I love the narrator. He's working with the script he's been given in the manner that the director wishes it to be read. His voice is clear, concise and I do not find it in any way derogatory to the elephants.

They’re so intelligent, and their behavior is so close to human behavior. Beautiful majestic animals. We need to stop ivory poacher for good . 🙏🏻💜💙 🐘

[@rachelgoodkind6545]

Agreed. However, humans also need to respect ALL animal life as important. What of the billions of sentient gentle animals bred and slaughtered every year so humans can eat their flesh, dairy, and eggs?. They also have feelings, emotions, and want to live their lives in peace and harmony. Please watch "forks over knives" "cowspiracy" and if you dare, the graphic "earthlings". There is much to understand. peace.

[@henryreese7236]

A moving documentary; learned so much about elephants, the trade-offs they face and their "humanity" . The herd must keep moving forward at a steady pace, however the babies can't keep up thus becoming vulnerable. The matriarch must strike a balance to both maintain a good speed and ensure the safety of the younglings. Moving to the next water source quickly is so important and yet they give enough time to the baby to grieve for its mother. A water source is of utmost importance but also a source of danger. A good night's rest is essential to carry on the next day but that again makes the herd vulnerable. The same tightly knit herd starts infighting once water becomes scarce. I suppose the natural bias we all feel towards elephants in all the conflicts is because they are herbivorous and don't ever initiate an attack. Also, the are not vengeful and stop pursuit as soon as the lions give up. I feel bad as their lives must be getting harder and harder with increasing temperatures due to global harming. Really hope these majestic creatures can survive this danger and we can bring global warming under control before it's too late for them.

Excelente comentario !! 👍👏👏👏 A mí me pareció maravillosa la edi ión, imágenes, las explicaciones...los que se ofenden por los leones son stupids, siempre fueron cruentos cazadores, con o sin calentamiento global. Pasa que hay una cuestión estética que les atrae, su piel, sus ojos, sus melenas, hasta se llevan de mascotas a sus casas y un día terminan devorados. Tengo debilidad por los elefantes , en general por todo animal que sea presa, el alerta y la defensa continua, amo las jirafas, los venados, las liebres, los conejos, las ardillas, los caballos, las cebras .. así es la humanidad, despiadados humanos que devoran presas humanas en todos los ámbitos y destruyen el planeta, poderosos..cada día admiro más a los elefantes y muchas cosas no sabía aunque vengo viendo muchos videos sobre ellos...

Ok ! I'm an Englishman who comes from a small island (UK) that humans eventually found after making our way out of Africa (formerly Pangea). I've driven through Western Europe, North West Africa and have visited the USA. Having met many peoples from across the globe and being privy to the huge expanses of land to be found on Continents, I drove South through West Africa and lived a "Saharan lifestyle" for six weeks when I was an inquisitive 21 year-old. I shared fires , food and water with Moorish friends. I experienced total silence in the desert. I learned to respect the sandy wilderness . I had the luxury of coming home with memories of my experiences and adventures . Those Elephants learn , know and teach . They develop intelligence , memory and technique. Just like me back in my travels , they know that the desert can kill them whenever that desert pleases. Sharing . love , family , friends and togetherness are what keeps them safe . Let us pray that our "gun-happy" American friends can mature as a people and come to realise that shooting an 8 ton unarmed innocent animal is an act of cowardice . Wonderful world ; wonderful Elephants . Stay safe , guys .
