Natural World Forest Elephants (2010)
The name African elephant conjures up images of a vast savannah, where the elephants mingle with lions, giraffe and gazelle. However, roughly one third of the continent's elephants live in dark, dense rainforest. The forest elephant is a lesser known, and critically endangered cousin of the African elephant and inhabits the dark rainforests of Africa.
