TwoZeroEven after all these years the genetics are still ther to produce big tuskers...
It's a shame they can't effectively manage thier wildlife.

Yeah. Judging by the stains there must have been 5 or 6 inches inside the lip.

bwanamrmDamn impressive... nice to know there are still some really big boys around! Even if they can't be hunted.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Michael RobinsonFantastic set of tusks. If this was a NP elephant, they must know more about him, and he must have been photographed during life, one would think.
