Echo and Other Elephants

Witness some of the most moving and intimate elephant behavior ever captured on film, now collected for the first time in this inspiring and informative two-disc set. Legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough and famed researcher Cynthia Moss are your wonderfully knowledgeable hosts for all three prize-winning episodes of Echo of the Elephants, as seen on PBS Nature. You'll follow thirty eventful years in the life of Echo, the wise and experienced matriarch of an African elephant family-from mating struggles and raising mischievous children, to kidnapping and emotional reunions, all filmed in Kenya's spectacular Amboseli National Park. Four additional programs help you get to know and understand these magnificent creatures even more.

Echo is extremely wise, an experienced mother and commanding matriarch of her family. She's also an African elephant, and arguably one of the most famous elephants in the world. Researcher Cynthia Moss has followed the charismatic Echo and her herd for over 30 years at their home in Kenya's Amboseli National Park. The resulting three Echo of the Elephants documentaries have become world-renowned for their touching portrait of this famous elephant and her elephant brood.

While it may seem that Echo and her clan live quiet lives, their days are filled with mating battles, difficult births, health problems, kidnappings, emotional reunions, mischievous children and, occasionally, death at the hand of a hunter. But with all her experience and knowledge, the 60-year old matriarch has been able to successfully lead her family through difficult times. Containing the ground-breaking three Echo of the Elephants documentaries plus an additional five programs packed with stunning footage, this collection is definitely not to be missed!

Some days the Echo producer and cameraman sat quietly in their Land Rover, surrounded and awed by a herd of several hundred elephants.
