Thanks Aat. This guy sure moves about! When we last saw him he was down near Talamati and now he's back up near Mopani. Maybe he'll still be around when we get there . . . .

Hi Aat, Here is a pic of a possible big tusker I took at the end of November on the northern side of the Orpen Dam loop.

If it is, perhaps you could ID him for me. Thanks Bond M U.K.

Very nice bondm

Do you have any front view photos?

bondm,
I can't ID this tusker immediately. Looks like he had two inward curving tusks. Can you send this picture and maybe some more to me in larger format?
Like to add this one and will see if i have more entries for this tusker. Very interesting one !

Hello Aat, the day after the floods I came across this young elephant calf which had been separated from its mother. It was trying to feed off this large bull who seemed confused. The bull only had a left tusk of considerable size and I was asked if he was a known emerging tusker. Do you know this elephant. He was on the H1-3 just south of Kumana dam. Many thanks.

I hope he found the mom so that the baby survived. Looks to be only a few weeks old.

Thank you for sharing adw Makes you think of the TV advert a few years ago , and the song :

But I'm strong,
strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

poor little think... I hope the mum is not too far
