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.

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.
