What a majestic lady!

She needs to be mounted side by side with Ahmed of Marsabit.

Years ago I had the opportunity to stand between the tusks of a "hundred pounder". That was an experience I will never forget. It was a humbling experience to say the least. These pictures are amazing.

Unfortunately poaching has eliminated 90% of the large wild tuskers now.

Saeed thank you so much for that post! I can remember all of the huge tusks that I used to see in the 1960's. Now they are half the size if that. I hope we can get a handle on the poaching and illegal ivory trade.

Hunted the Chewore area of Zim with John Rosenfelds in early 80's. We happened upon an old cow that John stated had the longest tusks he had ever seen on any elephant. As I recall that one looked a foot shorter than The Queen and had much thinner tusks. We went after her. She was with a group of 10 or 12 other cows and they flat disappeared into some nasty thick stuff. Over the next several days we never saw her again. As I remember cow tag was $1000. Several years later I asked John and he said he never saw the old girl again.

An incredible trophy, incredibly rare in cows. It could be a premium for the genes pool. Sadly she'll only calf 12 elephants, and not sure that those will all express this precious trait, big tusks. But not to be neglegted. Conversely a top trophy bull is prone to far more pass his genes, quantitatively.
