S1 E16

2019

To meet you, the elephant, we are going to Africa! You live in the savannahs and steppes, around the matriarch, the leader of the clan. You are a big animal, a mammal, one of the biggest on earth! You walk on all fours and your skin is thick and grey. Your Asian cousin is a little different because he has a hump on his head and is hairier. Well, not as much as your ancestor the mammoth!
