Maybe he is a known tusker?

I wonder if it's Zambhala who we saw near Lower Sabie in 2010?

Hi Pumbaa,

He looks a lot like Zambhala. I can't see his left ear that wel to see if the marks are there. Maybe you can send large format pictures to me ?
tuskers@zeelandnet.nl

I will check it again and if so, I can update his page. I haven't seen him for a long time

Hi Aat,

Is the one at the back a tusker?

Seen from Letaba camp restaurant.

Hi steamtrainfan,
You got me interested in this one - you got a side view to add to your post? Or a photo to show his ears clearly, especially the right hand ear?
He certainly look big enough to interest Aat as well - might very well be "Letaba 1" or maybe a new find.

Will have to wait and hear what Aat says.

I will check the photos I have. If I have others I will post them here.
