In Search of Classic
Aubrey Manning presents the first of a two-part special from South Africa.
In this week's NATURE, Aubrey recants his experience with a husband and wife team who have dedicated their lives to observing a population of elephants deep in the South African Veldt.
In this programme Aubrey Manning has privileged access not only to the researcher but also to the elephants. The researchers are on the trail of "Classic" -Ìýa big bull they especially wanted to find.
Along their journey they encounter many others bull elephants, some who give Aubrey the jitters!
With the removal of fences dividing the many nature reserves in the area, including the massive Kruger national park, animals are now free to roam in a vast area - they can even walk freely from South Africa to Mozambique.
The research expedition Aubrey accompanied aimed to look at how elephants the team have known and studied for years were responding to this new gargantuan conservation area. |
