Amboseli National Park in Kenya is known for its vast elephant population. They come down into the park in the morning from the surrounding mountains to look for food and water. We had not even crossed the official park boundaries when we came upon this large male bull elephant with his huge tusks – a real life Tusker (Tusker is one of the African beer brands that features an elephant on the label). Our guide instructed us that such large tusks are a genetic trait, and not necessarily due to just age. This big guy though was clearly quite mature and very much in charge.
Thanks for visiting.
