Africa Wild

Oops, sorry for the blunder
I will read the 221 pages of the thread to apologize.

Damned straight! Homework for you!

Dindingwe,
Let me try to explain in a short way:
I skip this "fired by SP" thing, I don't spend any energy on that anymore.
I started my website about tuskers of africa long time ago and got more and more tusker friends sending me pictures of tuskers. Some of them were already named by SP and I did not give them another name. SP however did not come up with new names for a long time so I started to give names to not-named tuskers in the old tradional way (after rivers , waterholes etc). Just a few examples are Mandzemba, Mavatsani, Nhlowa, Kaleka, Ngodzi and others, on my website since let's say 2008 / 2009.
Last year SP came with their new names , almost all of them were on my website already and I decided to not change their names.

But does it mean, Aat, that the Elephants in the Kruger have different names according to whom named them : Sanparks or yourself ? Or is it the case only for this one because of Sanparks error ?

In other words : Aat baptises them with their REAL names , and then SP comes around trying to give them nick-names

Its true Just ask any of those tuckers He whispers , and then they even come to him , then he has long long conversations with them
Of course , I was also able to introduce a couple to him , but he named them

Okie .... I have this big big smile on my face.....

It such a big pleasure to be here on this forum and having so many tusker friends around.

Last few days I received a number of updates for the site. Just too much to post all of it here.
- several updates of Tembe tuskers (thanks to Andreas Schulze)
- new tusker in Pilanesberg (thanks to Bluetuna)

a few specials I will post here in a few minutes
