Decades of unnatural captivity have left their mark on Mara, and in this week’s episode we talk in detail about elephant poop! From the differences in consistency of African and Asian elephant poop, to size and smell, all topics are on the table.

Her stereotypic swaying stopped almost immediately and with her new friend, Rana, at her side, Kat and Scott recollect how Mara’s first days and months of discovery in her new home, Elephant Sanctuary Brazil.
