Now, back to TUSKERS !
I am sure some of you will have noticed that I use an elephant’s tuft of hair on his tail tip as one of the ID factors - now, while researching tuskers throughout Africa I naturally included the African Forrest elephant as well. One of the differentiating features is their tails. On the below photo [ Internet search for CAR tuskers ] you can observe that the Forrest elephant have a longer tail with a large fluffy tail tuft dragging on the ground.
Judging by the hollowed temples a person can surmise that this is a moderately old tusker but his tail shows no sign of diminishing as normally observed on Savannah elephant.

The bushy tail looks very nice, love it
