what a mess... like said elsewhere

I know you are an Elephant's lover and never a "whisperer" would make money... except for a good cause...
and I remember an help to a little boy

it seems we have to pay the stay, the entrance fees and even the photos we take in the park

Viva Tuskers... all form... big, new, old

We will still support your site and send any photos if we go to KNP again.
I submitted the photos of Ngodzi and Nwanedzi to Sanparks to test the new initiative. It's a mess. Unless it's one of the named tuskers from Letaba, they are as lost as the next person. The bull is being monitored, no good photos (how come you instantly recognized Nwanedzi then?) etc. Whatever their intentions were from taking this away from you, they created a situation with a heck of a lot of confusion. Ngodzi will be Ngodzi to me forever. Your database is way larger and up to date and I honestly see no reason to stop using it unless you stop updating.

Aat, anyone can see that you website is a labour of love and will definitely still be supported!!

Yes, I can confirm it is Dungile (ear mark and trunk and tusks)

In general , the trunk with all the lines , muscles are like a footprint too for ID , I always use the combination tusks, ears and trunk in case of doubt or to get 100%
......

The other pictures I can't help with those, the one with big tusks but turned away I can't ID and many others I think cannot be qualified as tusker

Yay, another big tusker I can add to my list!!

I 100% agree with the comments above. I will be in kruger for a week end April and I know where I will be sending my photos.

Looking back through this thread I see I posted these already and Aat said this could be Malopenyana. It looks like he has the hole in his left ear like Malopenyana.

If you look at his ear and imagine it unfolded, there would be quite a big notch which I think looks like Ngotso's right ear.

Could this possibly be a Tusker or future Tusker? He blocked the road that goes from the S28 to the Nhlanganzwani Dam. No way he would let us pass, we had to turn back

I can follow your way of thinking, it's not impossible it's Ngotso but I can't say it's him with a 100%.

Lisbeth,
When did you see him ?
