That was sooo special! 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Addo 2019
With the temperature rising, quite a few elephants took to the water
However getting out again was not so easy despite 4WD being engaged
With so many elephant around Hapoor we knew they would still be around later in the day so we trundled north to the main camp and back again in the afternoon. There wasn't much else going on in the park, but sure enough there were plenty of elephant still at Hapoor including a submarine
Also waiting in the wings was Tembe (Vincent as he used to be known)... the bull introduced from Tembe
It was the first time we had seen him since his introduction. He chipped his left tusk fairly soon after his arrival - presumably in a skirmish with another bull - but he's still a magnificent specimen. Here's a car to give some comparison to his size
He started following a herd but was promptly chased off by another bull who had him running around all over the place. We thought it rather strange as Tembe was a lot larger and would have surely won in a fight... anyway it at least allowed us to get another close encounter as he thundered over the road near us
That's all from 2019... must organise a trip to kick start the new decade soon

Remarkable again,Peej!
Ellies work in mysterious ways...
Why was his name changed from Vincent, one wonders?
Thank you so much for the installment!

Re: Addo 2019
Great sightings, love all the elli fun
Vincent somehow does look a bit stressed and skinny now, he might suffer a trauma after relocation, pity that he broke one tusk.
Must be hard to be removed from your buddies and the familiar environment as a single individual.
Generally I wonder if most broken tusks are due to fighting or rather come from digging or overturning things
