Summary

Mac is an African Elephant that has entered "musth", a massive testosterone rush that heralds sexual behaviour and his 200km migration to find a mate. Philippa speaks to Michelle Henley of Southern Africa Save The Elephants to find out how she is hoping to follow him over the next few weeks. Unbelievably, Logie has still not turned up but once again Roy Dennis is on hand to provide the latest reports. Elsewhere, following an update on the Monarch Butterflies Brett went to find out how migrating animals navigate.
