    This week on Wild Stories we're joined by the insect researcher who discovered how elephants talk - Caitlin O'Connell Rodwell. I learnt how Botswana doubled its elephants whilst populations across Africa were halved, the reason pregnant ellies are brutally booted out of herds and how a Hawaaian bug unlocked the secrets of elephant communication through the ground.
