I thought I'd add that he took these pictures in the Letaba Elephant Museum, in Kruger National Park. The museum is located inside Letaba Camp, and is very well worth visiting if you're ever there.
 
Very interesting, thanks for sharing !
 
Thanks for sharing if I am never able to make it there then I've seen this much thanks to you, great pics.
 
It is a great place, filled with most interesting Elephant facts.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.
