There was a time in Africa when great tuskers roamed at will, from the deserts of Namibia to Mozambique, from Ethiopia to South Africa. Today, due to the growth of human settlement and the hunt for ivory, the large elephant herds have been drastically reduced so that fewer than 450 000 elephants survive. Sighting a tusker today is a magnificent event, not least because so few remain in the wild. Great tuskers includes information on ivory anatomy, ivory diseases, trade in ivory and conservation of the African elephant. But its main purpose is to share with the reader the beauty, grace and presence of the great bulls that once walked the earth, as well as the current big bulls that roam free in the few protected areas of Africa.

the best ever
over the years I have bought thousands of books. This one is the best!! I know I am biased having lived next to the kruger park for 15 years, but this is definitely the best book I have ever bought!! I could easily give this book a lot more than 5 stars. Not something I have ever done

By far one of the most exquisite volumes in my library as a collector of over 50 years. Incredible illustrations in both painted art and photography, concise reference, and a must have for anyone fascinated by elephants. If ever there was a book to make the 'bucket list' this is a must have at any age.
