Found bigger pics of the tusker at Nkovakhulu in the far north, 2009:

You can see he is not too old, and VERY big in stature!

Here are two more pics of the ellies in the Leataba river where the right ear can be seen.

Mine is bigger than yours!

It's difficult to judge how big this one is

Here is another possible tusker although this ones tusks are a lot thinner. Seen at Mooiplaas.

steamtrainfan,
The tusker you posted yesterday does not look like Letaba 1 any more - the Letaba 1 notch on the RH ear is not there - no we will have to wait for Aat.

The tusker you posted today is the renown Kaleka - see Mopani section on Aat's TUSKERSOFAFRICA.

RP - I see you also went digging in your archives - good looking tusker that but I think not yet on Aat's TUSKERSOFAFRICA.

Hi steamtrainfan,
The last one is Kaleka, no doubt about that.
The other one near Letaba: I can;t ID him immediately.

Here is another possible tusker although this ones tusks are a lot thinner. Seen at Mooiplaas.

Hi RP,
This one is Machachule , he probably died in 2012 or early 2013. He was old and thin and never got pics of him after 2012. He was always around Shingwedzi and often seen. I moved him to the tuskers of yesterday section.

Thank you very much 100 ponder and aat.

Could this one also be a tusker. Seen on the H1-6 close to Mopani Camp.





Thanks very much.
