    Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer... A close look at an elephant's trunk and tusks.
    Chris Packham explores the anatomy and physiology of the largest land animal on the planet - the elephant. Their size seems ill-suited to surviving the most arid regions of Africa, but their inner workings allow them to defy the extreme heat of the desert and find food and water in seemingly barren landscapes, while their extraordinary memory enables them to repel predators.
    Chris reveals how hairs on the skin help keep elephants cool, how sensors in their feet may be able to guide them towards rain and how a unique pouch in their mouths stores water.

      Monarchy is racism. It's the selection of a specific family with their specific genes. BBC didn't hire criminals to slay the monarch. In France it's legal to kill a tyrant. As meta-Normans we should abolish monarchy and the supposed personhood of cod or god.

    Are any big orgs thinking of investing in very large habitable spaces for elephants in the face of climate change? Elephants are so emotionally intelligent, so anatomically interesting, and their species need to be protected in the coming decades/centuries.

    • @venky193
      @venky193 Рік тому

      Its evolution. Elephants are growing smaller and smaller tusks now, to a point that its almost absent in newer born now. It’s in an attempt to adapt around to the excessive hunting that has been done for their tusks! Even though, having tusks is VITAL to their existence & being, BUT surviving is equally important. This is not the 1st time animals have begun adapted themselves to fit to the environment better.
