Duoli, the new leader of the Asian elephant herd, has a tough decision to make for her family. The prolonged and unusual drought has deprived their home of enough food sources in the rainforest of southwest China's Yunnan Province, forcing them to leave. But leaving home means a dangerous and unpredictable journey ahead. As the leader, she is responsible to guide her herd towards a more suitable habitat. What's more, some of the youngest members in the family also need to be attended to. The whole family relies on her decision. What will she do? Watch the third episode of the Unexplored Land series: Unexplored Land Ep. 3: Here comes the "queen of the rainforest".
