Hope you are doing well and maybe we see other again in april/may in kruger
Not that easy to ID this one but almost sure it is Ngonyama. Widely spread tusks and area (H14). I have some pics of him in almost similar position so that's why I am almost sure it's him. Don't know if you have more pics of him?

We saw this big boy on the H9 on 22/04/2014. His right tusk is longer than the left and he has two small holes in his left ear.

100ponder wrote:In all likeliness he is Ngonyama, his tusks match in length, thickness, curvature and both tusks have sharp, rather unblemished tips with no grass notches.
Another clue is the tiny hole in the extreme lower tip of the left ear.
The tuft of tail hair on your photos also match this feature on Aat's website.
The area where you saw this tusker also coincides with Ngonyama's stomping grounds.
The two small holes higher up on the left ear must be new markings.

Now, this is a special sighting as I mailed Aat these pics wanting to find out if this is a tusker and he mailed me a while back and said that this is a prospective tusker, named Nsemani as he is seen regularly on the H7.
