The last of a series of four films.
Introduced by Joe Henson
Joe Henson , a Cotswold farmer interested in the survival of rare breeds of domesticated animals, takes a personal look at the largest land mammal used by Man - the elephant.
With a trunk capable of handling anything from a peanut to a tree, its strength was widely utilized by the people of the East. There is evidence that the Indian Elephant was domesticated as early as 4,500 bc, and from that period on It was - and remains to this day - a powerful influence on the Asian culture and civilisation.
