In this award-winning, one-hour special, Sir David Attenborough investigates the amazing life story of the most famous elephant to have ever lived: Jumbo. A Victorian-era animal superstar, Jumbo is believed by many to be the biggest elephant in the world, a creature so large that his name became synonymous with being huge. Joined by a team of scientists from around the world, Attenborough gains unique access to Jumbo's skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History to separate fact from fiction. What clues lay in Jumbo's bones? Can they tell us more about this giant, how he lived and how he died? Our care and understanding of elephants has changed dramatically over the last 200 years. At a time when these majestic giants are finally being retired from circus life across much of the western world, we explore the emotional lives of African elephants and reveal the effects that captivity would have had on Jumbo. And explore rescue efforts for baby elephants today, transforming these orphans into the wild living Jumbos of the future.

In this award-winning, one-hour special, Sir David Attenborough investigates the amazing life story of the most famous elephant to have ever lived: Jumbo. A Victorian-era animal superstar, Jumbo is believed by many to be the biggest elephant in the world, a creature so large that his name became synonymous with being huge. Joined by a team of scientists from around the world, Attenborough gains unique access to Jumbo's skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History to separate fact from fiction. What clues lay in Jumbo's bones? Can they tell us more about this giant, how he lived and how he died? Our care and understanding of elephants has changed dramatically over the last 200 years. At a time when these majestic giants are finally being retired from circus life across much of the western world, we explore the emotional lives of African elephants and reveal the effects that captivity would have had on Jumbo. And explore rescue efforts for baby elephants today, transforming these orphans into the wild living Jumbos of the future.
