Episode 122: Awed by African Elephants

This week we revisit the African Elephant. Angie shares her recent experiences at Kruger National Park in South Africa and how they manage their African Elephant Population. While we do not rehash much of our Episode 2 on elephants we do cover the main points. The poaching crisis has not abated over the last two years since we covered elephants. Elephants are still being poached at about 8% of their total population per year for their ivory. Patreon: Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.
