The elephant, nature’s largest land mammal, is also one of nature’s greatest curiosities. This innovative film uses the latest technology to examine its evolution and attempt to answer the age-old questions about this giant species.

How did the elephant get its trunk? How does a creature that weighs over seven tons walk, barely audible, on its tip-toes? How do they manage to communicate across distances of over ten miles? These and many more questions are explained using a pioneering combination of computer animation and observational filming.

We are also given a fresh look at the mammal’s natural history. Using computer graphics, watch the elephant transform back to a wooly mammoth before your eyes and marvel at its remarkable place in evolution. This film provides a comprehensive portrait of these captivating giants who have roamed the earth for millions of years.
