Hong Kong Space Museum to screen new dome show "Desert Elephants: The Adventures of Little Foot"
The Hong Kong Space Museum is screening a new dome show, "Desert Elephants: The Adventures of Little Foot", at its Space Theatre from today (December 15) until September 14, 2026, taking audiences on an extraordinary desert odyssey alongside a 1-month-old desert elephant named "Little Foot". Amid a perilous environment, the baby elephant not only needs to learn to skilfully control its trunk but also to master the survival techniques passed down through generations to withstand threats from predators and relentless sandstorms.
The Namib Desert in Africa is the oldest desert on Earth, with extremely arid landscapes. A remarkable herd of desert elephants demonstrates extraordinary survival skills. Led by the experienced matriarch, these elephants forge powerful mother-daughter bonds that last a lifetime, with mothers nursing their young for up to seven years. "Little Foot" must master her trunk, a combination of nose and upper lip with over 150 000 muscle bundles, while learning unique desert adaptations like taking sand baths that serve as natural sunscreen and parasite protection. As hidden dangers lurk across the desert wilderness, the baby elephant must stay close to the herd to avoid being left alone and becoming prey to predators such as lions. She also needs to develop life-saving skills from her mother - sensing subtle ground vibrations to detect approaching sandstorms and finding hidden water sources beneath the desert - wisdom that determines survival in this unforgiving land.
The screening times of this 40-minute show are 5pm on weekdays, and 11am, 3.30pm and 8pm on weekends and public holidays. Tickets priced at $30 (front stalls) and $40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For details of the show, please visit hk.space.museum/en/web/spm/shows/dome-show/desert-elephants.html.
The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
