It weighs seven tons—but can disappear silently into the night. It remembers everyone who hurt it. And its ancestor was the size of a rabbit. Today we're talking about the elephant—a creature that is right now changing its own biology in response to what we've done to it.
This video has it all: 60 million years of evolution from the erytherium to the mammoth, three species of elephants including the Bornean pygmy elephant, a trunk with 40,000 muscles, an elephant that speaks Korean, the story of Lawrence Anthony and the elephants who came to say goodbye, the execution of Topsy the elephant in front of 1,500 spectators, and how poaching changed the DNA of an entire species forever.
