14,000 elephants roam Luangwa. But there is one extra special family who have made it their home. In the heart of Zambia's Luangwa Valley lives a special elephant family. Among them, a young female called Chilema. She only has half a trunk. She lost the tip to a poacher's snare. It was intended to catch antelope for bushmeat. But the snares' indiscriminate nature
means other animals often fall foul of them, with devastating results. Chilema is now having to adapt to life without an elephants most important appendage. She must learn how to eat, drink and also take a mud bath to ensure her survival. With the added challenge of the harsh dry season, Chilema is fighting against the odds to survive.
