LUSAKA, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Zambian police arrested a man illegally taking 44 elephant tusks in Copperbelt Province on Friday, Times of Zambia reported on Saturday.

The man was arrested at a roadblock in the early hours of the day when he was on a bus going to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.

44 tusks in 3 suitcases! I'd hate to think how young some of the elephant were that the tusks came from.

My thoughts exactly! Those must have been some GIANT SUITCASES! I'm sure you could get 44 sets of Warthog tusks in 3 suitcases, but certainly not elephant.

cow tusks are small and thin, 4-5kgs each X 44 = 200kgs/3=66kgs/suitcase, they were some big bags or more unreliable info from african media.


sorry about the spelling,
I missed that class.
