What makes an elephant a #SuperTusker ?
A Super Tusker is a bull elephant with tusks that each weigh over 100 p (45 kilo) and are so long that they often touch the ground.
There are roughly a few of these magnificent beasts left in the world, with most concentrated in Kenya.
The 4th hunt of another #SuperTusker is now underway
in #TANZANIA .

The gentle giant Craig the super tusker. It's said that there are 25 of these super tuskers!
It is a privilege to be able to see them in the wild!. If I had one wish, I would wish that gentle giant lives forever!

When are elephant bulls capable of breeding?
On average, their reproductive success decreases slightly from the age of 50 to 54 and more significantly from 55 to 61 years of age.

God Bless Arsenal The definition for a “Supertusker/Big Tusker” is tusks with a minimum of 100lbs/45kg each tusk.
As bulls are bigger and heavier than females, the females don’t match the weight but there were some impressive female Tuskers, where the tusks reached the ground
