s on the planet. Lush Marshland stretches to the horizon. An ideal world for 130,000 gentle giants. Life seems perfect, but this paradise has its monsters. These lions are expert

hunters, but they face a powerful battle. Foreigners are experts at defending themselves. The young female is outnumbered, but she has size and strength on her side.

The Lions cling, but their sharp claws are no match for their inch-thick fur. The strange weight of these 300-pound Assassins fails to bring her down. She is a face. Her will to survive is indestructible. She is safe and sound with her family, but the Lions will return. It's the dry season. Elephant families begin epic 9,000-mile journey. Padded feet distribute the load. Their footprints record life-saving routes across the landscape. The oldest of the pack. The wisest matriarch leads the way her wisdom is her experience. She has memorized every path that her mental map will take the family to food and water.

Foreigners are the main enemies. Each elephant needs up to 50 gallons of water a day and almost 500 pounds of food. the tenderest leaves are hard to reach no problem tree trunks 2 inch thorns Nothing stops a hungry elephant its two-fingered trunk is dexterous like a human hand teeth the size of house bricks grind wood and bark into pulp, but when the adults eat there is very little it is time to relax the family detects danger there is an evil smell in the strange air the lions have returned a lone bull is surrounded but a six-ton ​​giant cannot hide in the bushes for long he will not be intimidated thank you with every step he takes he shakes the ground he shows his power he sends deep roars warnings mommy but the lions do not give up this giant stops the lions in their tracks his warning calls echo through the ground for miles a family picks up the signs of danger they have exceptional hearing but they also listen with their feet this new mother uses her trunk to detect seismic vibrations the message is clear they form a protective shield around the baby they remain on high alert the mother and the ants are ready to defend her calf oh listen until the danger passes it is finally safe to resume your journey abroad, herds grow, elephants can live up to 70 years and have large families, relatives and friends meet and join forces as they travel together.

The adult bulls add strength to the convoy that follows the matriarch as she takes them all to the water, but this family is on a different mission they heard alarm calls and come to the rescue it's too late a calf stands over its dead mother oh he will protect his body with his life the lion waits they know he can't stay here forever the pride also waits until he is ready to leave this is his family he will be safe with them all a matriarch comes to the water a welcome sight for all The family can vacuum up more than a gallon in each full trunk.

The entire herd satisfies their thirst. This waterhole is still deep enough to swim in, okay, but they're not alone, and one resident has his sights set on the baby elephants. Young Crocs are not a problem, but adults are a different story in Africa having a drink can be dangerous. Adult Crocs will take on a baby elephant some carry the scars of unfortunate encounters for a human it's like losing both arms but elephants are smart there's always a way for days to pass without rain water evaporates into mud but even the mud creates opportunities makes the best insect repellent sunscreen and is perfect for a refreshing bath catches the mud and cools them down but for this family luxury comes at a foreign price where there is water there are predators lions know exactly where to hunt they zero in on a calf but the elephants are smart enough to read The Lion's Movements thank you, they know their tactics as soon as the mother sees them get into position, she scatters them, yes the calf is safe, so the herd goes hungry, but As darkness falls, the balance of power shifts, the night belongs to the azure blue water of the Lions.

The holes are the perfect place to set up a night ambush. These elephants know the lions are waiting as the night darkens. Lions grow bones. Okay, they highlight a young bull. He tries his best to intimidate them, but they won't give up. Stranger, he is too dark. for the elephant to see, but his incredible sense of hearing catches his every move, finally the tables turn, the backup arrives, yes, tonight, the Lions will leave without elephant families, they are constantly running out of a pit of vital water to the next, some watch as they advance. Thanks, others know it's too good an opportunity to lose consciousness of the matriarch and the elephant's superior sense of smell will guide them to foreign water, but even elephants need a break from the midday sun.

This shady place is already occupied, but not for long here. the heat can kill old people's week is needed this family has lost one of their own they cry for their loved one friends and family pay their respects but they can't stay here for long The Lions have found the free food thank you for this party It will distract them for a while, but the drought is ta

its toll on the elephants and the Lions know it is only a matter of time before they find their next victim. There's nothing like an easy meal. Lions are patient and ready to take advantage of any opportunity. -Moving gazelles are difficult to catch, but a small elephant is tempting.

Objective, thank you, it is difficult to keep up with the herd, but if you fall behind, the lions will not lose their rhythm, they will continue waiting for the moment to hit everything. Separated from The Herd, this is the time, but a protective mother shouldn't mess with yours. Harmful trumpet blasts scare big cats. The baby clings to mom. Like glue she stays between her legs. Oh, the Lions can't find a way in, they're outmatched. for this devoted mother at all times the cap is safe for now the storms are on the horizon but they bring no rain the earth is drying up brother with so little to drink tensions run high desperation overflows into fights they are running out of options soon They will be fighting to stay alive The earth is reduced to a minor parched desert Mortals drop like flies Elephants fight the heat by pumping extra blood through their ears Well, the constant flapping of their wings cools them down and lowers the temperature The water holes have gone, but elephants know how to get a few vital drops they did it in times of need they even eat the dirt oh essential minerals and salt in every bite this mother does everything she can to make herself and her newborn calf strange draw water a bag in her throat to cool off while her baby uses her for shade what they really need is fresh water luckily this mother knows exactly where to find it uh foreigner she joins hundreds of other elephants, all streaming to a special place from miles around round become dry riverbed that is coming back to life thanks to movements in the earth they release underground water a trickle becomes a stream the stream becomes a torrent no one is sure how elephants know to come here maybe it is their incredible memory or The fact that they can smell water from 12 miles away, the elephant's power of intelligence and skills keep them alive against brutal odds.

Elephants gather as far as the eye can see. Some mothers give birth just as the river begins to flow. Her nemesis returns. This newborn is still unstable on her feet, but after 22 months. to take it mom is determined not to lose it now foreign charges call reinforcements everyone comes to the rescue the true strength of elephants comes from the family family that is all-powerful and unstoppable to be the largest animal that walks the Earth takes superpowers an exceptional brain to find food and water fine-tuned senses to detect dangers and opportunities and to fight a deadly enemy it takes foreign guts
