TANZANIA SAFARI - 166 African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana), Ngorongoro Crater

Only about 30 elephants are estimated to remain inside Ngorongoro Crater.

 

Because Ngorongoro is well protected from outside influences, old male Elephants go there to retire and relax for the remaining years of their life. Often, these old beasts have some of the longest tusks in all of Africa since poaching here is nonexistent. I saw one with very impressive long tusks, but I was not able to find its photo. I probably was so mesmerized that I forgot to take one.
