This juvenile elephant was none too pleased to have his picture taken, in fact, he was positively annoyed. Judging by his missing tusk, seems he gets himself into lots of trouble.

She was hopping around the furniture picking up fluff till I put her out side. Very rare and indeed protected insect here in New Zealand. Females don't have the large distinctive elephant like tusks.

Even a single tusked African elephant is still a beautiful site and subject!

3 bull elephants at a waterhole in the Tembe Elephant Park in KZN near the southern Mozambique boarder with South Africa. Well known for their large tusks. Great simply ''being there''.

It must be difficult to compete with only one tusk

One of the most well-known mountains of the Garibaldi Range in southwestern Canada. Black Tusk's iconic upper spire is visible from a great distance in all directions and is most noticeable at various points along the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler. 7,608 ft above sea level

Black Tusk's ice-crusted north face (2319 m, 7608 ft) towers over a stunning vista of barren volcanic-rock formations and an infinite field of snow-capped mountain peaks, icefields, crater lakes, and dense mountain rainforests.

The spectacular Tantalus Range and jagged spine of Serratus Mountain loom in the backdrop. Garibaldi Provincial Park, Coast Mountain Range, British Columbia. POV from a high point on Blackcomb Peak.

In Africa a lot of historical knowledge is passed on orally, but the history of this African elephant is clearly written on it's tusk. The Sanskrit like signs tell a story of many attempts to get it's daily allotment of food of about 250kg per day.... .....

Heard on the radio yesterday that one of these grand animals is killed/poached every 15 minutes in Africa.

Made up of tusks

Enjoy...
