The Glade may be a heaven where there's always water, a place where bizarre things happen. As the dry proceeds in Ruaha, groups of elephants arrive within the Glade. They dig deep into the sand with their trunks to tap the cleanest waters. The Glade pride duplicate the elephants - abnormal behavior, but not in the Glade.

Change comes to the Glade. A grown-up male arrives to continue his position as leader, and father. The cubs develop rapidly - there's one male among them. When the cub comes to youth he starts to play dangerous games, attempting to mate with female individuals of the pride.
