This part of the website is all about Tuskers in South-Africa.
I will try to gather and update the information on this Tusker-site as good as possible and need the help of others (you?) to keep up with changes like areas where they have been seen lately, marks to recognize them and pictures of these beautiful elephants.
First goal is to set up an index with all the current Big Tuskers and Tuskers of tomorrow and a memorium to the Tuskers not living anymore like the Magnificant 7.
I hope you like this initiative and visit this part of the website frequently. Feel free to send an e-mail with relevant info and or pictures to my mail address.
