Only ten to view but some are stunning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24534109

This is my favourite

That one is indeed very cool, but where are the rest?

The elephant was already dead, and they were removing the tusks so poachers couldn't sell them.

That was also my initial reaction but the caption below adequately explains the situation IMHO.

You misunderstood. He's an ivory poacher.

Great shots though. All quality work.

Jimbuna · 10-17-13, 06:17 AM

TBH I wasn't overly impressed with the winner (picture 1).

Platapus · 10-17-13, 06:18 PM

I was upset that the elephant was killed in the first place.

Unless I missed where this elephant died of natural causes.

If so, he had went to the elephant graveyard!
