CRAIG (1972 – 2026) – A mighty/super/mega tusker.

A mighty tusker is a male bull elephant with each tusk weighing over 45 kilos, approximately only 25 of them left in the world.

From the amboseli_trust Instagram page:

Craig died this morning. Beloved by many people but particularly by the local community with whom he shared his range, Craig was born in January 1972 to Cassandra of the CB family. We were never certain but we suspected that he had a twin sister, Cerise, who is the matriarch of the CB family today. Craig had just turned 54 years old. He led a long life and no doubt fathered many calves. Thanks to his many protectors he died peacefully of natural causes. Craig represented all that is wondrous about the Amboseli elephants.

Vale Craig.
With those tusks it’s a wonder he lived so long.
