Document Summary

Elephants are often the first to arrive each day. Other animals follow the elephants trails but none get in the way. Elephants come to bai seeking something under the water something that lays at the bottom of the pools. Huge intake of food means that they are always processing and defecating food but the elephant digestion is incomplete and the dung provides food for fish and a lot of other animals. Red hogs bury in elephant dung usually they are in forest but the protein rich dung draws them out. Birds come because of insect activity because of elephant dung and hogs. Dear-like animal search elephant dung for seeds in the bai. There are plants that are only found in that area and not in the forest. These plants make the youngsters more eager to eat than play. Gorillas travel long distances to get to the clearing of the bai.
