Did you know that long before giant elephants stomped across the
savanna, their ancient ancestor was only the size of a pig?! Join
Mira and Finn as they uncover the colossal, stomping, and splashing
history of elephants! In this massive episode, you'll travel back
35 million years to meet a mini-elephant that loved swamps, and
then fast-forward to the Ice Age to hang out with giant woolly
mammoths! Have you ever wondered how an elephant uses its amazing
trunk? You'll be blown away to learn it has 40,000 muscles and can
suck up water like a giant super-soaker! We'll explore the epic
differences between African and Asian elephants, and find out how
these brilliant creatures can smell water from 12 miles away. Plus,
discover the jaw-dropping true story of a famous general named
Hannibal who marched 37 real-life war elephants through the
freezing, snowy Alps! From delicate peanut-peeling tricks to
rumbling purrs that shake the ground, this episode is packed with
elephant-sized facts. Get ready for a mammoth adventure!
