National Geographic Documentary - Wildlife of animals at Mount Kilimanjaro - Wildlife Animals
In eastern Africa, a chain of magnificent volcanoes blister the face of the earth. Some are dead, others sleep and at least one is very much alive. There’s the Black Mountain, the Sacred Mountain and, most famous of all, an icon of Africa, the Great White Mountain – Kilimanjaro.
The largest and most impressive of all the animals that live on and around the Great White Mountain are elephants. Images of these great beasts with Kilimanjaro’s white summit as a backdrop are renowned across the globe. Much less familiar are the shy and rarely seen elephants that dwell in the high forests.
In the past elephants roamed freely up and down the mountain. Now they run a treacherous gauntlet as more and more of the slopes are cultivated. When tempted by succulent crops wild animals, including elephants and monkeys, face poisoned traps, snares and spears.
