AN AFRICAN elephant detects dangerous TNT using its extraordinary sense of smell. Shot in November, this fascinating footage shows Chishuru, a 17-year-old male bull, carefully checking a row of white plastic buckets – one of which contains the explosive material. The huge animal raises its right leg to signal that he has found the tiny amount of TNT which is placed on a piece of filter paper. This amazing research is being carried out in Bela Bela in the Limpopo Province of South Africa by wildlife organisation Adventures with Elephants.
