What extraordinary photographs of an ancient 'super-tusker' matriach.
The photographer Will Burrard-Lucas took these amazing pictures of what must surely have been a 60 or 70 year old elephant in Kenya's Tsavo National Park. She died of natural causes ... probably old age or perhaps starvation as her remaining teeth may have gradually fallen out or been worn away. At least she survived poachers who would have made a fortune from killing her and selling her tusks on the illegal ivory market.

Truly stunning pictures.
This must have been what it was like for early man to meet a mammoth !
