88,

He's actually the ideal animal to take (even without such fantastic tusks) - He's at the end of his life, has already passed his genes onto the next generation, and he'll be at the end of the wear of his last set of teeth. Take a close look at how the bones are beginning to stick out, esp on his hips and skull......... almost certainly because his teeth are so buggered he can't chew enough food to keep him alive and so is already in a downward spiral of health.

Look also at the background and it looks to me as though that's riverine habitat behind him. - This is typical of very old tuskers to seek out these habitats because there should be more succulent and easily digestable food in those areas.

Hope that helps..........
