Although the elephants are extremely intelligent and intuitive, their changing environment will challenge them to adapt quickly. Dr. Paula Kahumbu’s work with the wise creatures shows us that elephants are surprisingly more like humans than could have ever been imagined. Experience the exhilarating sights and sounds of these animals’ secret lives — narrated by Academy Award®-winning actor Natalie Portman — in crisp detail when Secrets of the Elephants begins streaming April 22 on Disney+.
