Great tusker ... RIP
Magnificent says it all with this extraordinary portrait of an old matriarch moments before her death.
The photographer who captured the images, Will Burrard-Lucas, seems to have a knack for spotting creatures of this ilk.
He's just released another series, this time of a majestic "tusker" elephant, of which there are thought to be fewer than 20 left on Earth.
The Elephant Queen, as Burrard-Lucas called her, died soon after he took the photos. She was known by the code F_MU1 and lived in the Tsavo region of Kenya.
It is remarkable then that this elephant lived to be over 60 and died of natural causes.
Yes indeed.
