WOW! That's awesome what an amazing animal! So glad she did not get killed by some POS poacher. That's gotta be defying the odds.

Lucky to have lived at all in Kenya where they outlawed hunting. Elephant numbers on a steady decrease there since while booming in southern Africa where a policy of sustainable use conservation/hunting exists.

Honestly doesn't even look real. Her tusks are longer than her trunk! I never even knew tusks got that long. Very impressive indeed!
