But looking at Satara 01 photos one can clearly see a whole in his left ear. My tusker doesn't have a whole :-?

Yes we see the floppy ear and hole but the tusker i have seen doesn't have a floppy ear or hole in it. So it must be another tusker then

Hi leachy,
It is Satara_01.

I added this comment on his page at my site: Remark: Not a real future tusker since he is old but because of respect for this great old tusker
