90 lbs elephant from Tanzania

Noticed in the trophy gallery of the Hunitng Report a 90lbs and 87 elephant taken from Ngarambe concession bordering the selous. Not sure how recent as there is no date mentioned but I believe from this season.

Looks like a perfectly symmetrical pair. What a trophy!

How old would such an animal be?

The hunter looks shell shocked! Maybe he couldn't believe what he had accomplished.

this looks very much like an elephant i saw in the Longido G.C.A.INTERESTING! If it is, these elephatns are protected by a cross border international treaty i hope its not one of those!
