[aat]

Thanks my friend, you have a good memory !
(about that boy ... I will never forget that too...)

aat
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

I hope I answered questions and clarified misunderstandings and replied to some lies I detected.

I feel happy with Africa Wild and hope we all benefit from the possibilities here.

Ja, aat! Well said. Unfortunately, as said elsewhere, one has to take most of what SANParks PR dept. says with a pinch of salt..waiting for a final final final answer/declaration...

Let's roll!

Lisbeth,
When did you see him ?

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

Lisbeth,
Then I think it is Nhlowa you have seen. As far as I can see in my database Nhlowa got that big notch somewhere between febr and may 2013.

Thank you Aat! I had a look at your site, but could not find anything that looked like this one

Hi All,

Per today I was able to read posts about what happened somewhere else and what has been said about me and my tusker site.

I just like to reply on this and make clear what my intensions were and are................


.........Service? This includes ID'ing tuskers, which can take a few seconds up to hours or longer.


........................I am and was using my site to have a good overview of the tuskers which is and was not possible at SP forum. My site is without any commercial purpose , no ads etc.... just born and used as a tool to display.

I hope I answerred questions and clarified misunderstandings and replied to some lies I detected.

I feel happy with Africa Wild and hope we all benefit from the possibilities here.

Regards
Aat

Hi Aat It is so sad what has been done to you elsewhere , but maybe you will remember what I said about
criticism and intolerances in that respect .
It appears that someone else , somewhere under SP now want to start up a research on tuckers , ID'ing them etc , and since your work is not being recognised , I just wonder how they will proceed , for surely your website belongs to you and you have full copy-right to it . As such , they cannot really use the names that you gave to many many of the tuckers , and therefore they would have to start with a new set of names .
Hmmm.... and that will certainly cause a lot of confusion .
And they cannot use the photographs in your website either , because firstly , it belongs to the specific photographers , and in any event , it has taken a number of years to build up all the information and data .

In any event , be strong my friend ..... you have a lot of support

Thanks Okie,
I just can say I continue here and I continue with the Tusker site and what others do at other places I really don't care. I know what it cost to build this up and how much time it cost to do all. Looking at the feedback and emails I received it all gives a a good feeling and I am sure we all benefit from each other with Tusker sightings, ID's etc...

Hi All,
Yesterday I created an easy to use ID document.
If you have seen a possible tusker go here and check what's right (left tusk broken, collar, big notch just in left ear etc... and you find the names of the tuskers per region (north - central or south)
With almost clean ears I mean small holes or notches or really clean.

Let me know what you think of it ok?
