Tusker at Bijrani zone

[Lokesh Kaushik]

It was almost the end time of our evening safari at Bijrani zone and we all of the sudden found a tusker blocking our road. It also tried chasing us back.

Zone- Bijrani
Date- 18th Dec 2020.

Camera- Nikon D5600

Indian tusker at its best. It is in its prime. Famous Naturalist M. Krishnan used to call these tusks as
"Murderous tusks".
The tusks- barrel type, horizontal, sharp and pointed are deady in any combat and other tuskers will normally not like to engage.
Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild


P. S.: Bijrani zone is becoming famous next to Dhikala. I heard that the most beautiful tigress there has not been seen for quite sometime.

Nice pic of a Tusker from Jim Corbett!...Indian elephants are known to chase people around compared to their African counterparts!Jim Corbett is high on my agenda to make a visit.

The elephants are often instigated by jeep drivers. So they can chase vehicles at times. However, in many cases they simply give way to us. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
