Explore the life and death struggle of the two surviving elephant species when Africa’s Elephant Kingdom and Queen of the Elephants arrive on DVD for the first time October 13 from Genius Products and Animal Planet.

In Africa’s Elephant Kingdom, follow the largest land mammal and its extended elephant family as the clan travels across the vast, life-threatening African plains and struggles to find food, water and a place to build a stronger family.

In Queen of the Elephants, conservationists and activists Mark Shand and Parbarti Barua – the only female mahout (elephant handler) in India – draw awareness to the elephant’s plight in a perilous 300-mile journey across the county atop the backs of elephants.

From global warming and environmental changes to human expansion and resource depletion, Africa’s Elephant Kingdom and Queen of the Elephants explore the frighteningly small toehold that the elephant species maintains in the world as its way of life is threatened.

If there is one thing I enjoy doing with my children it is watching Animal Planet. Their shows actually teach you about animals and my tween loves to absorb all she can about any kind of animal. The Elephants DVD I received to review gave us a great insight on these massive, wonderful creatures. We love watching about their travels and their struggles, my daughter enjoyed it so much so that she even wrote one of her essays on elephants after watching this DVD.

For all the animal loving readers out there I have also been given the opportunity to host a giveaway of 3 copies to 3 lucky Dirty Shirt readers! See rules below to enter.
