some would say they're getting close to wiping the rhino off the planet and you all are fighting that battle now. >> we're trying, of cocose, it's very bad. >> reporter: but for now the warar continues to save some of africa's most majestic creatures. it's africa >> reporter: all right, as the drone above continueso circle around, i'm the guy down here in the blue shirt hoping y can still make me out but i'll have my photographer mark who is sitting in that command center turn on around to the camera and see where i am now. turn on around here, here i am at this park. the drone can cover a whole lot more ground than the guys on foot, the rangers on foot enthough this is new technology being used certainly going to be helpful just in the time we've been here, guy, there's been four rhinos poached, killed right here at this park. after that coveted rhino horn so they have new tools they will be using.

>> although lions are the king of the jungle these are the reason more lions die than any other reason. when they feel threatened they react aggressively. if they felt threatened they'd send a coupl signals and just kill whatever is in their way. >> we'ee a at a safe distance. a good thing and we'll have so much mor interesting and fun facts as dave likes to call them about all these incredible animals and just got word, our two drones, our live drones may have just found a herd of elephants, so we're going to be headed over there next. cannot wait to bring that to you. >> we can't wait either. >> that's going to be great. that buffalo is storing up his energy there. >> to see them in their home on their turf. >> all these interesting facts, too. i love this. >> technically amy is exactly the right position because she's upwindf the buffalo. >> i knew you couldn't resist that. >> buffalo don't smell so -- >> you ran that -- >> i did a test run. don't say that, sam.

>> you can see he listens to us. >> we'll go to cecilia vega. >> don't come to me after that. good morning, guys. we begin with today's republican caucuses in nevada. donald trump is trying for his third consecutive win. he has a commanding lead overnighttrawing a large crowd in las vegas and delivering his harshest attack yet on ted cruz. calling him sick and attacking his integrities. the texas senator hoping to recover from a campaign shakemup after firing a staffer for posting a misleading pideo about marco rubio and rubio is gaining ground picking up endorsements from bob dole and several other big names who previously supported jeb bush. and missouri senator claire mccaskill has been diagnosed with breast cancer. she says her prognosis does look good as she begins treatment in st. louis, mccaskill says the cancer was diagnosed lew a mammogram. bill gates is siding with the fbi in its battle with apple. gates tells "the financial times" he agrees apple should hack into the phone used by one

for multiple items separately. and the news we have all been waiting for, there is one less reason to feel guilty about eating chocolate. apparently it improves brain function. a new study found that people who ate chocolate at least once a week displayed improved mental skills, flalanoids in the cocoa beans could be one reason why. whatever this high school student is eating, iant some of this. check it out. walker stillman looksike he's floating on air right there. this picture is not photoshopped. he says when he knew he had no chance at making that rebound he just relaxed midair. second. his mom says she's going to hang it on the lawn of the house. that's amazing, right? >> chillll rebounder. >> thanksor bringing that to us, cecilia, appreciate it. a surprising n r rort about mastectomies. the u.s. department of health and human services revealing the

double mastectomies has tripled. jennifer ashton is here to talk about this so tell us, give us some details. >> this was not a stutu but an accumulation of data from 2005 toto2013 and over that eight-year period some interesting trends were observed. the rate of mastectomy overall has increased by 36%. the number of women having double mastectomies, that tripled over the eight-year period and women who are choosing double mastectomies were about ten years younger than those women who were having single mastectomies and this was all in the face of the breast cancer rate staying stable. >> yeah, so it's staying s sble but yet women are taking these measures because they -- it's individual. ey have to do what they feel is best for them? exactly. >> as a doctor, when do you think it is right for a double or single mastectomy. >> so, difficult question and obviously as you said it does have to be individualized but this is really the why. three kind of main reasons why a woman would choose a mastectomy. number one, if they have a

mutation that we have's talked about and most people know about, second reason, if it's a large tumor in a relatively small siziz breast because, again, we have to take into account cosmetic issues, the risk of beingisfigured with the treatment of the cancer and lastly, patient preference. women still can say, i don't want to go through that increased surveillance, stress, llow-up, long term and so i want to choose what i think is the best course of action. >> and quite a few think that way. when you look at it there's some controversy about doesst really prevent future recurring even getting it in the first place if you have a mastectomy. >> this is what most people don't know, robin. to be clear and we have known this for some time, the risk of recurrence or death after being treated with mastectomy versus lump lumpectomy with radiation is the same. so this treatment -- >> that is surprising. >> when people hear that -- you think -- >> absolutely the same so this

have with that breast surgeon and needs to be right about them. treating the whole woman and not just the body part. >> each woman and men go through breast cancer, as well. thinking of senator mccaskill that she has been recently diagnosed and said the prognosis is good so we're thinking of her. over to lara. here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." we are as you have seen on safari getting up close with the most majestic animals in africa andhen we are learning more about a tribe there. amy joining inn a wedding like you've never seen before and then fm morning time to prime time it's my turn today to switch jobs and see if i can out cut it in the acting world with the muppets. then outside -- oh, thank you, fonzie, some of our awesome fans enjoying the safari, you can too. it's all coming up on "good morning america" in times square. hi, guys. thanks for being here.

amy promised and the drones have delivered. look at those elephants on safari in africa right now in the ngorongoro crater. this is a stop on the great migration, onenef the natural most majestic wonders of the world and amy, you are right in the middle of it now. >> we really are. we are moving through this 100-mile crate irhere with animal planet's dave salmoni headed to where the drones are right now. those live drones over that herd of elephants. it's simply incredible. we have five liveameras for you at home to be on safari with

so are you at home and, dave, i want to take a look at this drone footage and these elephants. we've seen these guy, right. >> we saw them fighting the other day. >> yes, we did. >> what happens is when there's babies around which is right around now the girls, they kick all the young boys out so they don'n' hurt the babies so now there's a little group hanging out, bachelor's group, boys will be boys. >> called satellite males because they hang out near the herd but not allowed to be in the herd. >> i le what you told me about the power of their trunks. >> the trunksj absolutely, one of their biggest strengths. they have over 100,000 muscles in their trunk. >> we've shown you the rhino and the lion and the elephant is the third threatened species here in this continent, those tusks are beautiful but they're certainly unfortrtately a commodity on the black market in the asian market. >> yep. >> we need t do more to protect them. >> what happened was when the asian markets grew and more new

tusks and that rhino horn. there's a lot of time and energy into keeping them safe. >> specifically in the crater there is a natural barrier that 2,000-foot wall where a volcano once stood higher than mt. kilimanjaro. this is a protected area but there are also measures in place from anti-poaching patrols, tell me a littlebout what they do here that's been so successful. >> one of the big things i said, it's hard to get in here without being seen. but i think the biggest success of this park it was the first park ever to partner with the local people so on top of the anti- anti-poaching patrol and geography all the local maasai will recognize those they don't recognize and tell anti-poaching people there's a problem. >> look at this picture of an elephant. it's just incredible. you are seeing this elephant move through the tall grasses in the middle of the great migration here at the ngorongoro crater. you are seeing him do what so

doing right now, live, they are in search of the nutrient rich grass here. >> absolutely. this i the largest mammal oal on the planet. imagine how much food they have to eat. only digest 30% of the food they put in. he's pulling up that grass and putting it in. he's going to put in a lot to be that big. >> yeah, and these animals travel far and wide. >> yeah, another fun fact i like about these guys is that they actually talk to each other with a subsonic so we can't hear it but can talk from milesand miles to each other to tell each other how they are doing. a real strong family. >> i was hoping we would see what we saw yesterday, those two young males sparring. >> it's part of the social structure. these males will all at one point want to breed with the herd so the boys that win those little tussles right w wn if comes to breeding time the strongest, the fiest, he gets to have time with the ladies. >> but i also love speaking of the ladies as we look at these four cameras live over had

the women are in charge. >> women, it's a hierarchal structure so the girls decide where they go, when they go and how they go. if they don't want a boy around send him out. >> just like us. just likik us, dave. >> absolutely. ladies rule the house. >> as we're movovg through the crater and, oh, we're here. we made it. oh, my goodness. i looked behind and saw the elephants. you're seeing them too. they are so beautiful but they're far away from the rest of the animals in the crater here. they move around. do they like to be alone. >> it's not so much the seclusion. it's just a matter of they're eating different things and moving in certain areas so the herd that's close is closero this end of the park so what happens is, the crater has a lot of different habitats so you can sethe water when we had the flamingos, a forested area a`d they're in the area that the girls like the most, the trees, because the herd will be there. >> it's so incredible and we're showing this to you live with our five cameras but the one camera you really can get an

experience is that im-360 camera near the forest here. >> that's where the black ryan and elephants will be. >> you can check it out on your tablet, your phone. you can pan it, look up, look down, zoom in and really see everything as it's happening here in the crater during the great migration and this is something that is so spectacular. it's one of the wonders of the world. >> natural wonder of the world and the reason is there's so many. never seen mass amounts of animals move together as ateam. so obviously what they'll do is they'll follow the rain. the rain comes down and they have something to eat and when it gets eaten they have to move on. this is where a lot of these wildebeests and zebra and gazelle all come to have their babies. >> you say zebra, i say zebra. you say wildebeest. >> i say africa gets to name the animal because they have it. i grew up in north america so i used to call it zebra and wildebeest. >> you're correct and i'm wrong.

with all of those millions, 2 million migrating that is when the lions come out to pla because they have a steady food source. >> all the predators so in the crater here you've got eight prides of lions and you've got hyena, everything eating, unfortunately, all the new nutrient that's coming in which is the anal. >> nutrient rich grass because of its volcanic beginnings. >> absolutely. the reason why they have all their babies at the same time protection in numbers. it's the odds of, hey, i won't be the one that gets grabbed by one of these predators but all the babies are on the ground so only a small percentage can be grabbed bypredators. >> it's beautiful as we're looking at these live pictures of elephts just slowly moving. you pointed this out to me yesterday. th look like they're moving in slow motion. you say they can outrun any man. >> the slowest elephant would outrun usain bolt. >> wow. >> you can see the ears flapping

he or shehe is cooling himself down because he runs blood through his ears. >> isn't this incredible bacac in new york. >> he's saying that the slowest elhant could beat the fastest man in the world, is that what we just heard. >> that's a true statement. >> that's unbelievable. i'm so glad you guys explained the great migration because we were all wondering where they're gogog from and where they're going to so thank you for the education. >> amy doing a great job holding on. hard reporting on the road, fast speeds doing an awesome job. >> i also learned my house is just like an elephant herd. women rule.% >> you know what, amy, you're making us feel that we are there with you. that's the beauty of it so we do feel like we're there. thank you. >> that was the idea. >> and because i've never seen an elephant out of captivity i never seen one reach down and grab that huge amount of grass and just take it in. >> a thousand muscles in the trunk. is that what they said. >> amazing.

so beautiful. i love these pictures. >> this has been a spectacular thing. let's get you -- by the way, need to talk about weather this morning because dallas pd is working fuhrously. we've had a lot of bad accidents. i've already seen tractor trailers flipped. a lot of strong winds and rough rain. dallas, better in the afternoon. tornado warnings pop around corpus christi, also around galveston this morning so be very carerul. this afternoon by about 3:00 that storm system moves towards new orleans. you don't have to be in the severe line to get bad weather. flash flood watches in the northern parts, alabama also in georgia on into the carolinas as well. carolinas will have a >> sam, here in south florida, cloudy skies, windy conditions, temperatures warming up, mid 70's already. the breeze has brought showers, isolatedrizzle here and there miami-dade and broward. the worst of the weather the keys. highs lower 80, warm with chance

nighttime they come outnd graze. even though they're that dangerous they only eat vegetables, grass. >> that is good to know. there are so many incredibl animals here in this crater and the ecosystem works because it's e only place where people co-exist with animals. those people are called the maasai and i got the opportunini to go into one of their villages and experience a very happy celebration for one young couple. they're known as the maasai, a nomadic tribe living across partrt of east africa historically cattle herders and fearsome warrrs. the day we visited a celebration, the village chief's daughter, 20-year-old endoya megaliki. the first of what will probably be many wives. >> very big deal. no matter how many wives he can have the firstst wife is always

>> reporter: these two of maasai descent are translator thoughshowing us around. the bride somewhat shy leaving for a new one after they paid a dowrey of cattle. >> just before they left the bride's home, you know, the elders from theribe who ask her, are you ready to goo with this man and she said yes. the boy also was asked that are you ready to take good care of our daughter? and he said, yes, he will. >> reporter: a tribe steeped in centuries old traditions, the asai are grappling with change and reconciling their place in the 21st century. how do you keep them away from electronics and modern advances? >> it's hard because, you know, a few who have a chance to go to school. they see cell phones, television and, you know, as they see that they come home and they want it. >> reporter: and yet the wedding

determination to carry on their traditions for centuries t come. >> we saw the boys were jumping and the girls were singing. what is that tradition? >> whoeveran jump higher and maneuver the jumps impress girls and whichever girl can shake the shoulders of their white necklaces better than the others will impress the boys. you know, it's one of the few tribes in africa which is still very proud to their culture. >> we want to thank abercrome and kept for giving us that incredible access and speaking ofaccess, you have at home an amazing view ofhat we're seeing live here with five cameras and our two drones over those hippos in the pond cooling themselves. you say they're sleeping in there. >> sleep there during the day and nighttime come out and have their grass. certain types they have pools like that where certain males will get a territory in that water andthey'll try to convince a couple of girlfriends to come and hang out with t tm and those are his girls.

the males are in charge in the hippo family. >> i doubt it actually. sometimes of the year they're more aggressive but doesn't mean they're in charge. >> during the day do they ever get out of the lake or water. >> that's where they get the grass, on land so that's probably what makes them so dangerous is because they're walk you go around at nighttime. there are people walking around at nighttime without flashlights and because they're dark and gray, if a hippo gets nervous he reacts with his mouth open and starts biting. >> those jaws are something. how big, howeavy are these hippos. >> they can be up to two tons. >> wow. >> so once again we talked about fast elephants. u'll never outrun a hippo. >> all right, dave. i'll send it back to you in new york. it's really stunning, breathtaking live video. >> by any chance do you know, it's pretty spectacular why that pond and the lake is so green? >> that's an algae so when you have shallow water and lots of sunlight you get a lot of algae.

>> they won't eat it but they got fish in there. they're eating all that stuff. >> it all works. >> very vivid, though, thank you, both. >> jesse, i had a great question too. the lake shallow enough they're standing or are the that good of swirlers. >> i was wondering that too. are they floating right now? >> they can do both. they can float. they can stand, most likely they're standing. that's where they feel most comfortable and that's where they'll sleep butt hippo can hold his breath for more than 20 minutes. >> two tons and they can float. >> yes. they come up a lot like a whale and come up and you'll hear their nose go pooof. >> dave can make a pip poe sound. >> they chuckle they go -- [ imitating hippos ss ] >> i embarrassing my family at home. >> we are lovin every second. >> outside to sam. >> hippos all overr the world

good morning, gang. how are you? nice to see you. where are you from? >> kansas city. >> and? >> new york. >> you were stumped by that? where -- you have many homes. i don't know. >> i moved around. rochester. >> can we state yr name. >> jim moran. >> beard to covet, my friend. beard to covet. even though he wears it in florida which i'm not so sure, jim. to the boards. one or two things we have to talk about. this little hit of snow and rain we've got in the new york city area. also on to massachusetts and connecticut today. all from the low. this is probably about an hour away before we start to get sprinkles even in times square and then we get the mix but here's the big deal. this cops later. this is the big storm cruising through the south today with all that rough thunderstorm action, also it will deliver snow to the chicagoland area in through central illinois and alsohink near poplar bluff, missouri and, this is v@ry heavy rain. look for the areas shaded in

this is a really importantnt sighting right now because we are talking about those animals threatened here in this continent. t.j. holmes has more on how you at home can help the war on extinction. >> reporter: yeah robach, that's perfect you're seeing those black rhinos because on this reserve, h hhluwe-imfolozi park in south afrfca this is wherehihos are being decimated four over the last week, week and a half but this drone camera that was flying around spotting me, the program is called air shepherd. you can certainly look them up but they are just getting off the ground. could be key to the future and tusk has helped 36 endangered species all around and including the black rhino and elephant but check these out. there are a lot out there. check them out and find a way to help but, robach, you're about 2,500 miles. we'll hop in the car and drive

>> all right, that sounds great, t.j. by the way, if you want some names of some of these organizations to help, we have theeorld wildlife foundation, endangered wildlife trust and the wild foundation and there are more organizations on our website so check thahaout. it's so important and, daveve you were telling me part of what's happening these animals, the conservation effort is to have tourists come to parks just like had. >> people worry aut the type of impact we have with vehicles and drones and what i tell you is that the most animals and the most wild spaces in africa are protected through eco tourism so if you come -- >> we're buying and paying for a very -- it's not cheap to come here to these places. >> you're creating jobs and you're --ll the money you're spending on these safaris are going to partner with the local people who are living here amongst these guys and if they'rerworking here they're not killing animals. >> it's so incredible because th black rhino population in this crater is at 40. that is one of the largest -- >> the densest population of black rhinos in africa that i

the most successful conservation program for black rhinos that exists that i know of. >> it's breathtaking and the rhinos are starting -- i was just told they're running. they are akind of running. sauntering maybe. >> having a little puff around checking things out. >> can they move quickly. >> they're very fast. these g gs are ones you never want to walk in the bush. when thehe see something they come horn first. >> i will take a note of that before i walk into the bush, robin. >> we thought they were making a run at you there for awhile. but, amy, pase thank dave. that's so great what he is saying because there's some people on ttter saying should we travel there, are we distbing them when they're there but you -- dave, an excellent point, you're going there providing opportunities so they won't poach. so they won't do things to harm the anals, right, dave? >> yes, solutely. because if this wasn't here, then it would be farmland and all the wild animals would be gone. >> good point there. >> it really is.

these pictures are amazing. but we're learning so much too. >> ye, i learned that a large group of rhinos is called a crash and there's so many more fun facts as dave calls them. you guys have done a spectacular job. >> i saw some wildebeests and i know he called them zebras. i'm trying to work on that and the rhinos altogether, i imagine they would be like really, really far apart. i did not imagine that you would see them within like, you knkn, 50 yards of each other hanging out together. >> minding their own business. yeah. >> wow. >> look at that. oh, don't like the way -- >> he's looking at you. you're safe, robin. i know it's that im-360 but
