Special Episode | We Found One Of KRUGERS TUSKERS!

[@michaellawson6533]

I believe the old tusker has a few askaris to accompany him on his journey into old age. There are always askaris looking for a leader to teach them wisdom and they will look after him till he dies , and then they will mourn too . Such an amazing act of compassion in nature.

Hi Ed,dit lyk soos Botsotso.Die tande is amper identies en loop na binne na die punte toe.Sy linker oor het n "U" skeer wat n kenteken van hom is.Tussen 2014 en 2016 het die Parke besluit om hom een vd Tuskers te maak en toe sy naam gekry.Baie mooi Dankie ,groete Lucas

[@travelerdirk7923]

Soooo Impressive to see ED, on our last trip to Kruger in 2016 we had a sighting of three big guys. But one stood out easily 3 ft taller than the other 2. While his tusks we're as big as this one, he wasn't far off & when he stood on his back legs to get at some treetop greens, WOW he was so huge. Thanks for sharing your adventures, it'll drive me to return to Kruger NP, such an excellent park & all it was to offer.

[@bothwellnyamhondera948]

How nice to watch your early videos long before LC200 was spruced up and fully kitted. What a long journey you have travelled. I enjoy your videos so much such that I watch them over and over without getting tired of them.

[@Anattiti100]

Thank you ! What a special sighting . I was worried he won’t be able to get close enough to the water but he managed with much grace . I miss Kruger and SA ❤️

[@andremeyer7491]

Its a very special moment to be able to have a big tusker grace our presence like this. Very well captured. We had one 18 years ago and was never able to find him again. Now that you know where he roams I hope you find him again. Kruger! Such a special place! My idea of Eden

[@christomalan5878]

Im 42 years old. Have never been in the Kruger park. We have booked for in july next year. And could only get 2 nights at tsendze rustic camp. Cant wait. You make awesome videos and you should be very proud of that.

[@my_return_tickets]

What an incredible privilege to observe such a majestic animal. Beautifully captured with such high respect, well done Edward and thank you for sharing

[@muriellyassis]

Wow Edward! Thank you for sharing this amazing Animal! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[@mikefoster8506]

Beautiful Ellie, thanks for sharing. Thanks for the awesome videos, Ed.

[@clivenyandoro3211]

wow...out of words!!! A true wonder indeed. Not sure how its surviving from the cruel poachers. Most likely it migrated from Zimbabwe. Well done Edward, awesome shooting there mate | Lekker

[@pauldarbishire7226]

Fantastic Ed! You are extremely fortunate to see this magnificent elephant. I look forward to the rest of the tusker series. Keep up the good work mate.

[@mikereeler9021]

Presumably this remarkable specimen carries the genes of the famed ‘Dhlulamithi’ the tusker that tormented hunter, Bvekenya Barnard, he of ‘The Ivory Trail’ fame. Well done Ed

[@tinadiederiks2524]

[@EverydayEnglishTipswithAmit]

Fascinating to see these humble elephants 🐘 out there in Kruger

[@tarynmaccarron2605]

Another superb video Ed! Wow that is one marvelous Tusker indeed!

[@Nettievr]

I maybe wrong but I think this is Ngonyama. We saw him in 2016. He is magnificent.

[@karenkeyser2323]

Ah man stunning - hope you've identified him by now 😉 - thanks for the share

[@lloydleroux2166]

What a Great sighting!!

[@georgesmith6891]

What stunning capture of these majestic animals.

[@warrengage1]

Somewhere in my photo collection I have a photo of an Elephant with similar tusks that I saw in the area of Renosterkoppies and Mpondo dam. He was about 200m from the road and walking from a drainage line in an open area. Unfortunately he was heading away from us, but such an amazing sight.

[@EdwardBath]

Awesome Warren!

[@hannetjie4817]

So special👐👐👐

[@thabisolebetha8138]

Did you go to Letaba to see what his name is, they have them recorded in the Museum! Looove to see it, bull elephants are my favourite sightings!

[@EdwardBath]

Not yet mate but it’s on the list!

[@pawpindilla]

Awesome!!!

[@amosrademeyer2550]

Baie dankie dat jy dit met ons deel, AFRIKA op sy beste 🙂

[@kasiryewilliam2069]

What an incredible sighting am glad to have watched it on the very day uv made this video keep up with those excellent videos Mate 🤙 much love from uganda 🇺🇬

[@onourwayeverywhere]

WOW! Beautiful. You mentioned that he is a "new" tusker. Do you mean that is the first time you saw him? That he migrated into the area recently? He was transported there?

[@countrymountain109]

Great sighting, we also had I think sighting of one near Olifants Camp in September 2021

[@ratters33]

Magic! Let's hope that tusker gets left alone to live out a healthy life...

[@oldbat61]

Wow

[@chuck1997norris]

Elephants are both majestic and cute (because of their big eyes and long thick eyelashes).

[@abdikadir-Jamaame]

Magical

[@ColinAthelstanMitchell]

Well done This Ellie is has not finished growing

[@chrisdebillot5160]

nice, very nice.

[@deeroelofsz]

Brilliant sighting of a magnificent bull - reminds me of the famous Isilo from Tembe!! Did you get hold of Kirsty Redman from The Emerging Tuskers Project to help with the ID?? Would love to know who he is!

[@EdwardBath]

Hey Dee, I have no idea what’s going on. KZbin is deleting the comments according to some community guidelines which in my opinion you are not breaking. I assure you that I’m not deleting any of them and even my reply’s to you are being deleted

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Dee! I am going to be chatting to Kirsty soon to sort it all out!

[@deeroelofsz]

@@EdwardBathpossibly because the previous comment had a website link?

[@EdwardBath]

@@deeroelofsz perhaps, I promise I’m not deleting them, you are always one of the kindest most loyal supporters 😂🙌🙌

[@deeroelofsz]

@@EdwardBath thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Gavin and I have learnt SO much from your videos I can't begin to tell you. If it wasn't for the many many tips our first 2 week trip to Kruger with the Cheetah would not have gone nearly as smoothly as it did!! The Storm Strap kit was absolutely the best buy yet!

[@reisenomaden4184]

Congrats! What an amazing sighting - to be honest: I'm jealous :-)

[@greenleader758]

So special, did you manage to ID it? There is a SANParks email adress where you can send the picture in and they ID for you. Cheers

[@thulanisiziba9066]

Ed could it be possible that he has been hiding somewhere in the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier National Park, those tusks are huuuuuge, thank you for the video 😍😍😍

[@cdizzle2812]

Report the sighting to the Letaba Elephant Hall, they should still be documenting them and their whereabouts and they'll be able to identify him.

[@muhammadtimol7544]

Most beautiful place in South Africa

[@filipevieira2697]

I wish that elephant a long life, with tusks that big.

[@megafaunaforever]

See the most magnificent African and Asian tuskers in the book The World As It Once Was.

[@sarahmeewes2130]

Looks like Nkombo 😀

[@robertharold2503]

Nice 👍🏻

[@wildcallingtoursandsafaris]

Stunning handsome boy. We are lucky to have quite a few large Tuskers remaining here at Tsavo National Park. Even then you need to be extremely lucky to spot one of them. They are such majestic creatures.

[@Mike-pd1zt]

it looks like Matlakusa as it has the slight droop at the top of the left ear. there is supposed to be a hole at the pointy tip of the left ear but the video doesn't show it clearly

[@4WheelingSA]

NICE! BTW - was it your new project on your right hand side?

[@marylovelace7471]

He needs his own body guards

[@lambertfourie3376]

We found him in 2020 September and june 2022 he's name is Kakura it means fast growing

[@tinadiederiks2524]

We also want to know about “ELEPHANT” encounters on the small gravel roads … them chasing you ???? Tina USA

[@alickbruce-brand4723]

Maybe Muliluane?

[@dennisklopper1818]

What can I say....bring me back home 😥🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@theolombaard9322]

Looks like Botsotso.

[@o0sunsi0o]

Stay safe you beautiful tusker, the Chinese pay enormous money for those.

[@jeremyconnell2925]

Ed, please think carefully about giving away the location of such a magnificent animal! No need hastening the demise of this special beast.

Hey bud! Waited 8 weeks to release the video after the sighting and just said S90 for a reason 🙌
