Are the first two pics of the same ellie? The third one's tusks look slightly different.

The second pic looks like Nkemele. There is another ellie with short broken tusks called Nick, so will have to try to find out. \O

I think this is Uno. Only has the right tusk, and a notch/indentation on the right ear.

I took this pic in January 2012 on the Tilodi Drive.

In the second picture you can clearly see a hole in his right ear (the ear on the other side)

Then in September 2013 I took this pic of the ellie marching up Eloff..uhm, Kubu Drive near the centre. Is it the same ellie and does it have a name with such a distinctive mark.
