00:46 - They've been walking on these trails for centuries.
00:51 They create paths for generations.

00:56 Elephants are a sub-genre of animals.
01:07 The more you learn about them,
01:08 the more we realize that we're already just scratching
01:12 the surface.
01:13 Every new discovery has shown that elephants
01:17 understood things that we didn't think possible.
01:20 And I think we'll never lose their secrets.

01:34 - It would be amazing to actually discover what it is
01:48 that they know.
01:49 I think that we are staggering about that
01:52 because we don't have the tools
01:54 to be able to analyze their communication.

02:02 - When you sit with them for hours,
02:17 it's like well, it's like a wave of sensation
02:20 coming and coming and ending.
02:21 (upbeat music)
02:23 I feel like I can really feel what they're going through.
02:27 And the longer I spend with the elephants,
02:29 the more I feel in tune with them.
02:31 (upbeat music)
02:34 (speaking in foreign language)
02:38 - There used to be thousands of species of elephants.
02:47 Now there's just three of them.
02:49 And if we don't pay attention, we'll lose them as well
02:52 and it will be the end of elephants.

03:46 - This is the right side of the jaw.
04:02 It's certainly the fossils of the past.
04:05 I think of that gum here.
04:07 And I think we, the paleontologists,
04:10 are trying to be the interpreters of the past.
04:13 They give you the opportunity to understand
04:16 what a journey that elephant had to make
04:20 to become what they are.
04:22 It took 60 million years to create the elephant.

04:48 - We often find fossil wood and fossilized grains.
05:11 And they're telling us something about the environment.
05:14 So the red sediment that we have
05:17 are ancient deposits of floodplain deposits.
05:21 So the animals would have been living
05:23 in the floodplains of these areas.
05:26 We're trying to reconstruct all the environment
05:30 that these animals were living in.
05:32 So we just pick up the bones,
05:34 it's like separating the chocolate chips from the cookie.
05:37 So we work with geologists,
05:39 we work with climatologists,
05:41 we work with specialists,
05:43 we work with geochemists.

06:58 - Imagine I'm taking you on a safari,
07:03 but a safari back to the past.
07:05 You'll see a part of Africa that has disappeared.
07:08 And you'll be born with a great herd of elephants.
07:12 (upbeat music)
07:15 It would be mind-blowing to be able to confront this scene.
07:21 I think the mind of the world 16 million years ago
07:25 that Bullock, that was the heart of the age of the elephants.
