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!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
