This Rare Elephant Sighting Had An Unexpected Twist

African Bush Features

The African Bush Elephant is a beautiful creature featuring short ivory tusks. Though impressive, these tusks are actually very brittle and subject to breakage by poachers. The lack of calcium in the soil contributes to their frail nature. Despite these issues, hunters still go after these animals for their ivory, which is very expensive on black markets.
