About The Mighty Elephant

Across the golden grass of the African savanna, a herd of elephants moves in a slow, deliberate procession, led always by the oldest female, the matriarch, whose memory of ancient watering holes guides them through the dry season. A great gray bull may stand over eleven feet tall and weigh more than six tons, yet the herd's heart belongs to the cows and their calves, who greet one another with rumbles too deep for human ears to catch. When danger stirs, the ground trembles with the thunder of a stampede, and a lone trumpet call rolls across the plains like a warning carved in ivory.
