Ever wondered what happens to an elephant after it dies? No, this isn't a programme contemplating elephant heaven, it's an exploration into the squelchingly gruesome world of decomposition. The star of the show is a young male elephant, slowly decomposing in Tsavo West National Park, Kenya. He had to be put down by a vet after being severely wounded by poachers. Now his remains act like a giant stinking bird feeder - drawing attention from miles around and providing a bounty of fast-food for the local ecosystem. It also provides a perfect spot for a bunch of scientists, led by Simon Watt, to delve under the skin of this rich African ecosystem as a five-tonne elephant is transformed into six million calories worth of fat, meat and guts. It's enough energy to keep a human sated for over eight years, but here under the African sun, voracious vultures, hyenas, leopards and insects pick away at the corpse day and night, until just seven days later there's nothing left but a pile of polished bones.

How to Watch The Elephant - Life After Death Legally and Safely

If you want to stream The Elephant - Life After Death through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry The Elephant - Life After Death films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
