Photographed at ********* Is it just a big one or is there a tusker in the area?

Hi GP

Not familiar to me and perhaps the angle but tusks don't look too big. :hmz:

However I will confirm with the experts :thumbs_up:

Nice tusks worth monitoring but not a large bull yet. Distinctive notch so it will be easy to monitor him.

Tusks still too small
Ellie 4
This is an exciting one......Definitely a tusker but no ID markers visible so a definite ID not possible – do you have any other images of this bull Oumie?

Another old boy from 2009 somewhere in the region of Mopani.

Hi Robbert - although good thick ivory he is not a tusker. Thanks for the submission :thumbs_up:

I am attaching photographs of an elephant I took in the Sabi Sands area circa 1988 and wondering if this was one of the tuskers from those days.

Hi wilddog.6 and a warm welcome to the forums.

I certainly will forward your photo's onto the team and post the feedback here :thumbs_up:

My thoughts are this is Phelwana but I'll wait for a response :wink:

wilddog.6 the location unfortunately rules out my thought of this guy being Phelwana.

Difficult to make a call from these shots. Do you perhaps have any other shots which show his left ear more clearly?

We saw this beautiful elephant on our recent trip to Kruger and we were wondering if he is known.

This elephant is a female, and we thought she was one that would worth keeping an eye on for the future. She has a very distinctive tear in her ear but she did making getting a good shot hard by hiding in the trees.
