There's so much more to elephants than their enormous size! Have you heard about their excellent memory or their adorable sense of humour? Did you know that they actually walk on their tippy toes? And wait till you see who their cousins are – you're in for a surprise!

Elephants can live until the age of 70 and are Earth's most intelligent giants, with incredible communication and relationship-building abilities. Come along on an exciting expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma as they spotlight these wonderful creatures, their closest relatives (the woolly mammoth!), and discover what humans can do to protect this beloved species.
