I will try to gather and update the information on this Tusker-site as good as possible and need the help of others (you?) to keep up with changes like areas where they have been seen lately, marks to recognize them and pictures of these beautiful elephants.

I hope you like this initiative and visit this part of the website frequently. Feel free to send an e-mail with relevant info and or pictures to my mail address.
