Wow.. look at that tusker

Brett LEE Wednesday, 16 February 2011 06:11 AM

Yeah!
Unfortunately the only tuskers in Sri Lanka are the domesticated elephants. I very much doubt if any exist in the wild anywhere.
Sad part is that the tusks grow over many years and in a few years we will not see any majestic tuskers :(
