We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. We thought he’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead. We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisonous arrow (箭) from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of drug—the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher (偷猎者) months before.

If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once—it doesn’t mean the poison won’t finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death. Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the great silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I couldn’t escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place. 1. While working near the water hole, the author and his team ________.
