In the sprawling African scrubdesert of Etosha National Park, they call her "the mother of allelephants." Camouflaged and peering through binoculars, CaitlinO'Connell--the American scientist who traveled to Namibia to study Africanelephants in their natural habitat--could not believe what she was seeing. Asthe mighty matriarch scanned the horizon, the other elephants followed suit,stopping midstride and standing as still as statues. The observation would beone of many to guide O'Connell to a groundbreaking discovery.
