Natural World: Elephants - The Long Walk Home
Thousands upon thousands of elephants struggle through a dust-laden, apocalyptic landscape. Whirlwinds of sand a thousand feet high whip the desiccated moonscape. It is a journey that some will never complete. This is a story of vision, struggle, hope and one man's dream to bring freedom to over a hundred thousand beleagured African elephants.

Elephants know how to live peacefully it’s us humans who cause endless problems for ourselves and the whole planet
I know a lot of people talk about how animals like elephants receive too much funding compared to less well-known but also endangered species, but I really liked what the narrator said about "if we can't save elephants, what hope is there for the rest of Africa's wildlife". So true!
Did he meet up with his family? Or did you just leave him all alone?
He'll catch up, he knows where they're going anyway, and they'll stop at some point to rest or cross a river.

so sweet!!

They have good ears and location so with that can probably find the group within a day.
even if he tries to catch up there are predators and now doesnt have the safety of his herd
An ancient path revealed for the first time in history! This is remarkable ❤🎉🐘
U should make to join with their group
That collar looks damn uncomfortable
Looked fairly loose to me, given that it was swaying as he was walking. I doubt he can even feel it though, as leather is fairly light.
Its the only way to protect them
So sad right ? We have to put uncomfortable items on our animals to protect them from poachers who want a quick cash grab of money
Amazing footage..Thanks for sharing
This guys love for elephants is amazing. Thank you sir for all you do for these beautiful animals 🐘❤️
Lisa, many of us feel such a strong kinship with these incredible animals and wish we could do more to protect them.
They are part of the problem
It is funny to read comments about video :) 1) This collar shows to scientist and authorities , important elephants route and allows them to make restrictions for farmers . So that route will not be blocked , and this will prevent human - elephants conflicts in future. 2) Heavy belt !!!! It needs to be heavy and strong. It sends signals to satelite once or few times a day , so battery should last for long period of time without change. For 5 ton bull such a belt is like delicate necklace for us :) So dont worry about its weight. 3) Other bulls are not his family . They are good friends and I am sure they will wait for him nearby and even if not, he will catch up with them in first Bar with cold beer :) 4) Dont worry about lions. For 5 tons bull they are like pests and they are afraid of him.
That is so peaceful
I love elephants! Amazing creatures. 💖🐘💖
👍
Please upload the full programme
Well that's one way to save elephants - put a tracking device on them to let guards know where they are at all times and even to chase them off from villages that they get too close to because villagers are known for killing them.
Elephants and people can live peacefully forever?
Isn't that strange?
We humans have the problems nit these animals.
Because humans have no satisfaction we always crave for more and more until there is nothing left then we will come to realization that we did wrong but it's already too late.
In fact animals are more intelligent than humans because they know what they are capable of and what are their limitations. On the other hand humans also know their limitations but they often ignore it because of their desires. Humans never respect their boundary and limitations that's why some animals got extinct and the sad part here is human caused that extinction.
Found the classic "animals are wonderful, people are shit" comment. Even has the good old "In fact animals are more intelligent than humans", my favorite part, that one.
U so stoopid
Humans are greedy correct, so are the animals. Coexistence is the solution. But that will take a long time to figure out how it can be achieved.
Because of you, guys, we still have hope to maintain our wildlife alive!!🙏💕💕😘😘
Exactlieee.... Animals are becoming part of endangered species....!!! Not only Tigers or other animals, I think each species is gng to be extinct ..!! I wish these animals stay safe while they reach their respective places or even they go for migration....!!! Because of these people working on taking care of these species make us think these animals are safe .... Heartful thanks to the entire team ...:)
Gouthami Mattapati
I agree with you...
It’s very sad, and we pratically are unable to do something...
Just Praying..,🙏🙏😘😘💕💕
We need updates on this
Elephants trying to be lowkey about their path , Look how close they get to them on the chopper 😂
That's the most smoothest way to dart an elephants. They have to follow certain protocols, anyways they are trained and professional veterinarians.
I am curious about that belt
how nice of them
wonderful
👍 Very Nice Filming 👍
So which is the path?
Wonderful beast
I hope the poachers or the evil monsters who enlist said poachers, never learn these paths. That would be disastrous.
Amazing. 🇮🇳
We have to do something
I like elephant 🐘🐘🐘🐘
Detesto quando os homens colocam essas coleiras enormes nos animais.
Quem gostaria de ficar com uma correia grossa em volta do pescoço?
Simone & Pinschers e Cia eh um gps
can anyone suggest any good movie based on wild animals
What's the importance of an ancient migration path for elephants?
Thank you for all you do for these amazing animals
I didn't like this at all
Good
He might be attacked by predators when alone you must think that
What predator, other than humans, will attack an adult bull elephant? I've never heard of anything even trying. Some lions hunt young elephants but not a giant, 40-year-old bull in his prime.
@@SimonsDiscoveries Simon, you are right, he's formidable, but sadly his impressive tusks make him a target.
@@CleverCactus hopefully? Not a word used in science
There are no predators, which can harm him. Elephant bulls usually life alone
@@michaelrosspearson9756 You're clearly not a scientist lol.
Why the collar?
OMG
Awwwww Africa is home ANGOLA 🙏💕💕😘😘
Awesome video - thank you so much for sharing this with us...
For an unknown reason, I always cry when seeing an elephant. I hope the team has been following the tracking elephant until he catches up with his family. He must have been scared when waking up without his herd. It will be nice if there is an update video on the elephant. Thank you.
Yeahh i agree😥🤨☹😩😔
imagine rest of the whole your life living with weird belt on your neck! I know I know why but imagine. Whatever
Yeah that must suck not knowing why it's there, and who put it there. I know exactly what your saying. Can't they just put a small tracker behind the ears or something.
Animals can find it annoying, but they won't think about why its here and its meaning ... Elephants can be as smart as you want , they're still animals, don't feel bad.
Also if you have a ring/ piercing/ wear glasses, you'll find that you don't even notice that you have the thing on your body after some time, all animals have neural mechanisms for that.
I also thought if they could make it smaller, but everything I came up with would've been more invasive than what they did.
@@romainlerch106 I said just imagine. I am not feeling bad, they are. we human thinks that we know everything about how other species FEELS. But how can we be sure? 👍
@@arsenymakarov6961 agree. agree!
Have you seen its fifth leg?
what the trunk
Unfortunately jabu and morula did not participate in this annual and ancestral migration
Please safe animals
Могли бы напоить водой в качестве подарка=)
Nice video ... unfortunately they are not safe when they are entering Botswana or elephants live in Botswana.... Now it is legal to hunt them again....i just read the article maybe a month ago ....very sad....
Awwwwww No please...
👍
Please save the elephant
I just can’t help but feel sorry for this majestic creature. All alone and now wearing that heavy belt around it’s neck. All for the sake of “research”??
Well without being able to research the researchers wont be able to set up reservations for the elephants for them to stay safe from poachers
And I think a 40 year old elephant can handle a “heavy belt”
The Entity Yes, I do get that. But there must be a better way than putting that crazy collar around it’s neck.
ジャキチエー
They took the country roads.
Poor elephant...it's probably going the wrong way after all that....hope he found his family though...
Elephants are very intelligent. They will never miss their path.
Also, that wasn't his family. Male elephants travel in herds made up of other males that have left their families. Males don't stay with their families
@@marcelodelgado3666 exactly
@@marcelodelgado3666 friends = family
What is you guys problem, you should use the sedatives on poachers instead, who cares if you wanna put collars on them, just leave em alone
Well, if you know where the elefants walk you can also know where the poachers are going to hunt them :)
Is you serious? Yeah, they want to put collars on them so that they’ll have some cool Bling. 😂
3...2...1 K HOLE
Bahahahah nice
@@Will-sv9mf come with me on an adventure you'll never remember
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow truly a magic scene
Leave them alone now he rey died cuz he lost his family
No, he is the largest bull so he knows the route already+ other bulls were Not his family, they are wandering companions in search of food and mate.
I've been blessed by being born in Africa i served in Africa and seen the beauty of it deep in the jungles and uncharted lands the African Elephant is indeed a majestic animal and it's a shame African people don't care about wildlife in the continent.
Bro we do care about wildlife but not everyone, so don’t generalise it
When you say African people don’t care about wildlife in the continent, that’s a lie
why is the collar dangling so much? what if it hooks on something and the elephant gets stuck? :o
Aren't you giving Poachers Even More information about the movements and habits of these great animals so poachers can continue to mame and kill them, possibly to extinction?
why did they put that belt on him? any captain here?
We have to do something about climate change
The device of this collar definitely emits radiations-now the elephant is going to have abnormal changes in its ECG and it will soon die of cardiac arrhythmia or soon the animal is going to have skin cancer, cervical spine cancer, spinal cord or brain malignant tumor.
Any of the radiations tends to be cardiac arrhythmia inducer and carcinogenic.
That's actually true. But these collars are actually called non-invasives, they are known and operated only if they are known to not affect the animal in anyway.
Ma andare così sopra agli Animali con l’Elicottero, vi sembra normale? A me NO !!
This is amazing!
🌹😊
That cannot be comfortable. What if it gets hung up on something? I'm sure it's not a break-a-way collor. 😡
I agree. Definitely not a break away collar. He used a 🤬 rachet to hold the bolts on. There's gotta be a safer way to track an elephant
@@bloomingaccents but yet its a thick leather collar thats almost skin tight and ratchet-tightened steel bolts to hold it on.. We're all aware of the power elephants have, but tell me how an elephant would snap that before they asphyxiate?
Humans
1:28 Good acting, and fake elephant
Ja ,,duuhhh🤨🤔😏😏😏😏😏🙄
M
Too bad they put that big piece of junk on him. A much smaller tracking device is needed.
lion win
Yeah bother those giants with noise from that heli
Stop using the car, recycle, use renewable energy, start at home. Don't blame the government for everything.
Why do poeple kill these animals? are you jealous of the Africas wild life ?
*This is oddly better a ASMR*
than most ASMR videos despite not being meant to be ASMR
Ah the noble scientist. Wrong at times, but never in doubt. Somehow exempt from the simple guideline of "Do no harm." The nobility we have conferred upon those in the "empirical" fields of research is nothing short of puzzling.
Like here 😀😁😂
Oh mann die armen Tiere alles vertrocknet dort nichts zu fressen und saufen 😥😥 nicht mehr schön und gerecht die welt
You have no right upon Elephants , it should be forbidden to put that thing around their neck. or let me put one around yours.
Please, leave them alone.....He is all alone now ....
cuteee
Just leave them alone. All you need to do is hunt down poachers.
putting a unwanted and heavy necklace around him is just plain barbaric and sadistic.
I wonder if you take into consideration in your research that you seperated it from the heard, adding unnecessary stress it trying to reconnect back with the other elephants. Or even worse, it being the oldest, was leading the other elephants to where they needed to go. The elephant/human problem is not rocket science to solve, STAY OUT OF THEIR ENVIROMENT, LEAVE THEM ALONE. You people are part of the problem as seen clearly in this video. The most beneficial action for this heard would be to use that helecopter for anti poaching, isnt it this that is driving them to extinction, not where are they wandering in their own enviroment.
Crap. The Bull lost his entire family for a collar. 😡
Exactly my point, how is that helping?
Because he could find his way back easily seeing as he has known the route for decades
U just made him split from his family thats unacceptable
Not his family
Ummm heard of a family at heart or anything like that or are you one of those irritating people who try to point out unoptimistic flaws that aren't there
This is cruelty
Yum exotic meat
Am I the only one person that comment here?
No.
Oh ok, thanks.
lol
What a useless clip with almost zero context.
