We are excited to share this introduction and new series of HERD educational videos with you, our followers, and African elephant enthusiasts around the world.

The aim of the series is to open the world of elephant behaviours to anyone and everyone who has an interest, and explain it in a very informal and easytounderstand format.

The information shared in our series is based on the “Elephant Ethogram”, a public platform that has been created by the remarkable team at Elephant Voices, following 50 years of dedicated elephant research, specialising in documenting and referencing elephant behaviours.

Every day we learn something from the ethogram, and so, during our journey of discovery, we thought we would share some of the basics of elephant behaviours with you, our followers so that you can observe elephants with a new understanding.

We are using snippets of moments shared between the Jabulani herd, which is semihabituated, but shares many of the same interactions and behaviours as wild elephants.

The episodes will be shared every two weeks, and we will focus on one behaviour per episode.

Are you ready to know more about elephants? We hope you are! Please join us on this new journey together.
