There are only 2 species of elephants in the world. To be able to see elephants now, you can search on Netflix for "BBC Spy in the Herd Elephants".  The show uses "dung cams" made to look like elephant dung so it will fit into the natural habitat.  They get up close to bull elephants fighting, a newborn calf, and the mud wallow full of muddy elephants.  Explore the habitat of the elephants to save the habitat of the elephants.
