Ndovu

Ndovu is an elephant in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Knowing that it will die soon, it wants Jonny Quest to be its guide to the elephant graveyard.

History
When Jonny, Dr. Quest, and Race are out taking photographs in the Serengeti National Park, they come across a killed elephant with its tusks sawn off by poachers. As they stop to look into it, Ndovu angrily bursts from the foliage and chases their Quest Rover. The three climb a tree to get away from Ndovu as it tears apart their rover. Jonny falls from the tree and Ndovu charges him, but stops and calms before Jonny. An old man appears and tells Jonny that Ndovu as selected him. Ndovu has "marked [Jonny's] spirit as one he knows from the past", and Jonny is "the one to join him on his journey to the burial ground of his ancestors." Jonny, Dr. Quest, and Race turn to see where Ndovu went, and when they turn back, the man is gone.

Dr. Quest doesn't want Jonny to do this, but that night, Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji sneak out to find Ndovu, who greets them when they wake up from their camp. They follow Ndovu across the Serengeti, helping prevent the poachers Gottlos and Hawkins from killing him. Ndovu eventually leads them to the elephants' graveyard, but unfortunately, the poachers follow them as well. As the poachers are about to kill the Quest Team, Ndovu attacks, killing both of them.

Finally at his place of rest, Ndovu collapses and is ready to die. Jonny runs to Ndovu and cries as Ndovu dies.
