5:13 5:30 in the morning and we¿re standing in essentially a base camp, at the base of the Himalayas. But we¿re not going up the mountain. We¿re going someplace that some people think is even more exciting than going to the top of the world¿s biggest mountain¿ This is the headquarters of the King Mahendra Trust on the outskirts of Chitwan National Park. (loud kitchen guy) The guys walking in and out of the kitchen around us are elephant drivers, which is really a skill, let me tell you. And we are going out on a round-up of sorts, kind of a Pleistocene round-up, to look for an animal that is, technically a wild cow, but it¿s like no cow anybody¿s ever seen. Weights 2000 pounds, has a horn that can be more than 3 feet long, is extremely rare, and, believe me, not easy to move.
