As Episode 1 of "Secrets of the Elephants" (2023 release; 4 episodes ranging from 36 to 44 min each), we are in the "Savanna" in Zimbabwe, and the narrator Natalie Portman introduces us to a flock of about 30 elephants, including a 4 months old calf who clings to his mother, the matriarch of the group. It is the dry season, and the group desperately needs water. The matriarch knows exactly where to go, but they face a 600 ft. Cliff with a steep and dangerous descent. At this point we are 10 minutes into Episode 1.
Couple of comments: this is the latest production from the National Geographic. Here they take a closer look at the amazing animal that is the elephant. We all know these animals are very social, but here we learn about the language (various grunts and cries) used by elephants and how extensively they communicate. Episode 1 looks at elephants in the African Savanna, and the other episodes look at elephants in other locations. Just as important, if not more so, is the drop dead photography in this mini-series. Our plant is amazingly beautiful, as are the animals. Let's all do our share to preserve this for future generations.
"Secrets of the Elephants" was released this weekend to coincide with the Earth day celebration. Episode 1 premiered last night on the National Geographic Channel, and all 4 episodes started streaming on Disney+ today (Saturday). I've seen the first 2 episodes so far, and I plan to watching the remaining 2 episodes later this weekend. If you are in the mood for a high quality nature documentary, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.
