In this one hour special, David Attenborough investigates the amazing life story of the most famous elephant to have ever lived - Jumbo. With a team of scientists from around the world, Sir David has unique access to Jumbo's skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History. What clues lay in Jumbo's bones? Can they tell us more about this giant, how he lived and how he died? And we explore the emotional lives of African elephants to help tell us more about Jumbo. We'll discover the efforts being made to rescue baby elephants and how these orphans are being transformed into wild living Jumbos of the future.
