2009 Digital Calendar photo description
"Giant Tusker"
Early morning in the Tembe Elephant Park, KwaZulu-Natal, this old Elephant Bull came down to
the dam to drink. As he was strolling along, two small ducks took to the water and
glided gracefully past the old Elephant.
Elephant - Loxodonta africana
The largest land animal, Africa's true King of Beasts, weighs up to 6000 kg (male) and 3500 kg (female), height 3.3 m (male) and 2.5 m (female). The trunk is a muscular extension of the upper lip containing the nostrils, tip equipped with two fingerlike projections for handling small objects. Huge ears, up to 1.5 m. Flapping ears on still, hot days helps cool blood flowing through network of veins on back surface. Tusks grow continuously, weigh up to 130 kg each
and can reach a length of about 2,5 m.
