Eboo an t-Ailbhean Afraganach/Eboo the African Elephant
Featuring newly-born African elephant, Eboo, who lives with his family in Amboseli National Park.
Sreath a tha a' toirt thugainn fiosrachadh a tha inntinneach agus iongantach mu chuid de na h-ainmhidhean as fhe脿rr leinn. An-diugh, tha sinn a' coinneachadh Eboo an t-Ailbhean Afraganach a tha air 霉r-bhreith agus a' fuireach am P脿irce N脿iseanta Amboseli, fo sg脿il Beinn Kilimanjaro.
Aon latha f脿saidh e gu bhith am measg nan sineach as motha th' air an talamh. 'S e a mh脿thair ceannard na teaghlaich agus 's e athair an t-ailbhean as motha sa ph脿irce. Faodaidh tairbh a bhith cho trom ri 5400 cileagram agus faodaidh iad a bhith cho 脿rd ri 4 meatairean.
'S e crodh a chanar ri na h-ailbhein bhoireann 's chan eil iadsan ach beagan nas lugha. Tha Eboo 's a theaghlach a' cur seachad suas ri 16 uair san latha ag ithe eadar 200 agus 400 cileagram de bhiadh an duine - mar gun itheadh duine 2800 ubhal. Chan e iongnadh a th' ann gu bheil gach ailbhean a' leigeil 脿s 200 liotair de mhethane gach latha!
The focus is on Eboo, the newest member of his elephant family. They live in the Amboseli National Park, overlooked by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain.
One day he will grow to be amongst the largest mammals on the land. Eleigh is Eboo's mum, the leader of the herd or matriarch. Eboo's dad, Swabou, is the biggest elephant in the park although he doesn't live with the females and babies. Bulls can weigh up to 5400 kg and they can stand over four metres tall.
The females are only slightly smaller. Eboo and his family spend up to 16 hours a day slowly eating their way through between 200-400kg of food each. Not surprisingly, each elephant produces 50kg of dung and around 2,000 litres of methane gas a day!
