Africa Wild

Here's Musthulele near the Letaba restaurant on 2 December 2015.




He was accompanied by another elephant - I think this is Malopenyana.


Here's a mystery Elephant cow. Her tusks resemble Mamerle's but her left ear has no notches. Seen on 6 December 2015 near the north end of the S28 which (according to Aat's site) is not Mamerle's territory!

Wow lucky to have seen him so close to the restaurant

Wonderful to know Masthulele is still with us - and good photos too. The old man's age is really showing. . . .

Long tusks on that female !

What you think Aat ?

Lovely pics.

BT!

Ja, aat is slacking a bit!

I am sure that Aat has other things to do, not like certain people I know

BluTuna,

Great shots and thanks for sending the pics , received them all

No doubt it's Masthulele , the other bull is tusker Malopenyana (detail: the small hole in the left ear)
The cow "tuskeress" is unknown to me, she is not one of the named ones

@ RP - thanks for the remark , difference between you and me (one of ..) I think before I reply / answer
BluTuna deserves a good answer , so a good ID check was needed.

Very nice pics BT
Masthulele is really starting to show signs of old age , condition deteriorating

Hey, Grumps...you must answer Pumbaa too!

Pumbaa,
I could ID your tusker (Nwanetsi along S131)
It's NSEMANI , I have some pics in my database of him with exact same position , including the "from behind" one, so no doubt.

[quote="Pumbaa"]On 26.02.15 we saw this tusker at N'wanetsi along the S131
