The Salt Mining Elephants are a herd of elephants that live in Africa. At night, they go into caves and use their tusks to dig into the walls and gather salt to eat for health. In "The Salt-Mining Elephants," Dashi and Ryla, who are exploring the cave, are fascinated by the marks and gashes they leave in the walls. After they introduce themselves, a pack of hyenas scare the elephants causing them to shake the ground and cause a cave in. A baby elephant named Kato gets his leg injured in the process. So, Dashi and Ryla call for help. While Kwazii and Captain Barnacles distract the hyenas, Tweak uses the TG-2 to move some of the rocks so Peso can get inside to bandage Kato's leg. Suddenly, a young adult elephant named Gemma has gone missing. Dashi uses the to find her. It turns out Gemma was looking for another way out of the cave to show she was a good leader. She thought she had failed, until Ryla noticed some fresh air and the sound of running water proving that Gemma may have found the way out. As soon as all the elephants join her, leader commands them to form a trunk brigade to move the rocks out of the way and make an opening to exit out of. The leader commends Gemma for her help and acknowledges that she will make a great leader one day.
