Eboo the African Elephant

In this episode, the focus is on Eboo, the newest member of his elephant family. They live in the Amboseli National Park, overlooked by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain. One day he will grow to be amongst the largest mammals on the land. Eleigh is Eboo's mum, the leader of the herd or matriarch. Eboo's dad, Swabou, is the biggest elephant in the park although he doesn't live with the females and babies. Bulls can weigh up to 5400 kg and they can stand over 4 metres tall. The females are only slightly smaller. Eboo and his family spend up to 16 hours a day slowly eating their way through between 200 and 400 kg of food each. Not surprisingly, each elephant produces 50 kg of dung and around 2000 litres of methane gas a day!
