IMIRE, ZIMBABWE: NZOU'S IDENTITY CRISIS


We know this elephant and her herd of Cape buffaloes and their gamekeeper.


Nzou, the elephant, was orphaned and brought to this game reserve. She grew up with the buffaloes and actually began to believe she was one of them.


You can read more of the story on the internet here .


The gamekeeper told us how once he was pinned to the ground by one of the buffaloes. Our friend was moments from death.


Nzou charged in and threw the buffalo off with her trunk, saving the gamekeeper's life.


Since then there has been a unique friendship between Nzou and the gamekeeper.


Nzou has become one of the most famous elephants in Africa.
