I just got an article from the magazine "Connoissance de la chasse" that has to be quoted.



A THWARTED COW

October 2010
PH Philippe Clero, Tawisa, Tanzania is stalking a herd of buffalos close to Kibaoni camp, Selous, when he heart sort of a din and decided to divert toward the puzzling racket
He bumped onto a small herd of elephants and expecially this cow that he didn't know. She seems to be 25- 30 years old and didn't look handicapped by her distorted tusk. She isn't meager and looks just normal, not famished at all
Since then, he observed another young female with this sort of anomality.
The cause ? genetics or a trauma when young?

I have seen some distortet tusks throughout various African countries, but have always suspected it was from some sort of damage while they were young.
