My first thought was shit the ivory is still there........

Ouch!!!! Obviously the driver was probably not wearing seatbelt.

Not sure it would have mattered.

Elephant appears to have both its tusks..

 

[sestoppelman]

It does appear so but one is laying on the road. Perhaps that photo was taken after the tusks were likely removed.

Must have been a remote stretch of road.........tires and ivory are still there..........FWB

Or the unfortunate vehicle driver was a poacher and the ivory was ejected from the truck bed? Karma?
