Elephants face a number of threats in the wild — from poaching, to habitat destruction, to conflicts with humans. It is the latter that has the International Fund for Animal Welfare getting involved in the translocation of one large herd in the African nation of Malawi. And as you may imagine — moving elephants is no small feat.
Fun fact: African elephants are considered to be the largest land mammal on the planet.
The Secret Life of Animals is a celebration of our deep ties to the creatures around us. Its a show that seeks to unlock the wonder of the animals themselves, our mysterious bond with them, and our lives together: From breathtaking stories of survival in the wild to pragmatic tips on understanding our pets and keeping them healthy.
The mammal in charge is host Vicki Croke, who has been covering animal issues for more than 20 years on television, radio, and in print. Her entire career has been one big excuse to pat as many animals as possible.
