Swimming Elephants 🐘

What happens

The Season 9 premiere in Botswana's Okavango Delta: an elephant swims across a channel with only its trunk sticking up like a snorkel. Red lechwe leap through the shallows in huge splashy bounds, hippos peek between the water lilies, a fish eagle calls overhead, and the kids glide along in a mokoro canoe.

Fun facts

• Elephants use their trunks as snorkels when they swim.
• Red lechwe leap through shallow water in big splashing bounds.
• A mokoro is a canoe pushed along with a long pole.
