Just a old dagga boy who was born on the wrong continent it seems. Love seeing and learning all about the amazing wildlife in Africa.

Craig, the legendary super tusker famed for its immense, ground-sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence, passed on at the age of 54. Born in January 1972 to the great matriarch Cassandra of the CB family, Craig lived a life that few elephants ever do. Craig was one of the last remaining super tuskers in Africa - a rare class of bull elephants whose two tusks weigh over 45 kilograms (100 lbs) each. Fewer than a handful remain today, making him a living monument to Africaโ€™s natural heritage. He fathered a number of calves, ensuring that his powerful bloodline and gentle character live on across generations. Beyond its extraordinary tusks, Craig was deeply loved for its remarkably calm nature. He appeared to understand its place in the world - often pausing patiently as visitors photographed and filmed him. Widely documented and admired globally, he became a true ambassador of Amboseli and a symbol of what successful conservation looks like. In 2021, Craig was proudly adopted by East African Breweries Limited (EABL) through the Tusker brand, reflecting his worldwide appeal. His long life and survival to such maturity were made possible through decades of dedicated protection by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), working in close collaboration with conservation partners and the local community. Continuous monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and community stewardship ensured that Craig lived freely and safely - demonstrating what collective commitment to wildlife conservation can achieve. Drop a memory of Craig down below and let's celebrate its legacy. #TunzaMaliYako

The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn.

Goodnight from Kenya, and this unexpected evening guest! A smattering of rain is guaranteed to bring out the bugs and the hive of insect activity has woken our Woodland Kingfisher friend from his slumber. Another species you're helping us to keep safe by protecting their habitat.

The longest road in the world a person can walk is from Cape Town, South Africa ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to Magdan, Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บThere are bridges across rivers, no boat or air journey required. The road is over 22 000 km long and it would take 587 days to cover for a person walking 8 hours a day.
