Tracking The Largest Elephant Tusker Alive - N’wendlamuhari

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2019
- N’wendlamuhari is Shangaan for the Sand River which means ‘the river that is fierce when in flood’ the name links to the bulls preferred location to a spruit which is known for its dramatic flooding in heavy rains.
Filmed at the Tihongonyeni Waterhole in the Northern Kruger National Park close to Mopani Rest-camp.
Special Features: Most notable on this bull is his ivory, his left tusk suffered a dramatic break many years back and while there has been substantial growth of the tusk since then, there is a marked difference in length between the two tusks. The left tusk break has smoothed over time and has developed quiet a prominent point to it. There are very few notable ear markings on this bull and aside from a small v-shaped nick visible in the left lobe towards the top and small u-shaped marks towards the top of the right ear lobe which are only visible in high resolution aside from this he has fairly clean ears. Visible from a left side profile are a cluster of small growths on the front of the left foreleg fairly high up the leg. These are often obscured by the ear lobe in frontal images.

This is one of the best videos I have watched with the animals not stressed or harassed by the presence of so many cars and people. I hope Tusker is still alive. The tusks are only awesome on the animal.
He's the most impressive creature on earth, and he knows it.
Sadly though he can't protect himself from human greed.
He knows a lot of things now.
Nor human greed its European and colonizers, who claim to be religious who invaded Africa and ,stole,hunted down humans ,animals, and resources out of Africa for they greed.
Thank you guys for protecting this beautiful guy!
WOW He's absolutely gorgeous. I hope he's still out there. A couple those other ones might be bigger than him but they don't have those magnificent Tusks.
the larger the elephant, calmer they are. they know their place. Then comes man. love this video. Have seen him once along with his askari friends
It amazes me at how such a gigantic creature can be so graceful.
The biggest of them were hunted down a long time ago. It's pure stupidity to hunt down the greatest of all animals. Egoism wins over intelligence.
@@rickwhite4137 very sad
That is the specialty of the proboscideans..

Magnificent! Thank you for sharing this footage...for many..it’s the closest they’ll get to this & other Great Tuskers. ❣️🏴🇬🇧
So beautiful and magnificent! i hope he is well protected from human greed, and continue to live safely in the wild.
Truly magnificent! Glad he's not alone.
Lovely to see this old man still around and thriving! He really is magnificent! I hope he makes lots of baby ellies and some grow to be tuskers like him! 💕🐘💕
Beautiful sentiments. Praying with you
🐘💖🙋🎇🌍
Let's hope
What a magnificent creature, we all should be amazed and honored that this elephant walks the Earth.
I liked to see the contrast between the size of the elephant and the car!
What a magnificent creature! One of God's greatest creations. We are lucky to live in a world where these gentle giants still roam free.

Indeed they are, but one shivers with wonder......for how long! The way world human population booming, lands in Asia n Africa becoming scarce for these most magnificent creatures; they r being decimated in large numbers!
Thanks
@@muhammadakram9138 every human being on earth could fit comfortably into the state of Florida. Don't listen to the overpopulation fanatics!
i guess im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
A disappearing miracle of Mother Nature’s grandest design. Plz keep him safe
Rangers should be with him 24/7/365.
Undeniably yes.
No one could keep up with him , be more realistic.
Please, save the Tuskers, save them all. Let us be touched right in the heart, thus we understand how important is life on earth 🙏🏿🦏🐘
Manuel Leon That's easy enough to say, but how do you stop the ivory trade? China seems to think it's their God given right to destroy every thing good in this world for their own pleasures. They don't even use the meat!! They kill Rhinos because they believe the horns are an aphrodisiac . They kill bears and take only their gall bladders, again because they feel the gall bladders are an aphrodisiac. (See a pattern there?) They rip the skins from dogs and cats while they are still alive during their Dog Meat Festival. These are sick, sick people and the ivory trade, for one at least, MUST be stopped.
Quelle beauté. Cet animal est majestueux et m inspire du respect et de l humilité. 🐘🐘❤️
Wow. Looks healthy, and so majestic. Just beautiful.
Thos was EXCELLENT, no intrusive music nor voice, just it as it was/is. Perfect.
Simply majestic!
Beautiful precious creature. Hopefully he is living in safety.
Finally a video without those boring, annoying artificial sounds and modern music which does NOT fit it! Congrats for the initiative!
You're absolutely right. Anybody who wants music over a video like this one doesn't understand the value of its content.
BEAUTIFUL ALL GODS CREATURES are an was saved when Noaha built the Ark
They are beautiful I ADVOCATE for the wild an domestic animals all are Gods creatures I think Godhas done this to try an get PEOPLE an animals to love respect one another not the color of the skin or what nationality you re we an all the animals we have all have to live together on this one planet called Earth like it or not he wants toput the fear of God an if this doesntopen your eyes take a step back an think he isso to through with how man has been destroying everything around him wake up the reserrection but all the Bible Movies why like Easter all the Bible movies
Just turn the music down if you don't like it.
Mari Richards we just hate it
Big beautiful elephant. The only way to shoot an animal as beautiful as that is with a camera. Magnificent power and respect. Just being in their presence would be awesome, and something you would always remember and talk about
Truly magnificent. Dear God, please protect him from humans.
AMEN!
God, the one that can hear your soul
God please help us keep them safe with help from above. God bless the game keepers and rangers.
God bless me.
Charles Pukeowski yes God. Because humans have failed.
@@priyeshsd Hopefully merciful God would listen to this honest prayer.
These animals are magnificent we must do more to protect them
More to protect them from colonizers and outsiders. Its outsiders like Europeans and Chinese people who are the ones who murdered, hunted these animals to have them on they walls or gaming, placed in zoos, circuses and sold all over the world. They caused they numbers
drop more than the natives have ever why is they a safari or monkey park in England that is not they home these bastards are the ones stealing these animals..
One of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen ❤️❤️❤️
When all the other animals fear him the only thing he has to fear is man
leongt1954
So true!!
He’s probably dead by now RIP Dumbo 🐘
How very much I love these beauties❤️
Look at beautiful boy!!!
Wish of all the rest of what of my life that I could be there!!
I love elephant.. God bless these beautiful innocent animals 🐘❤️🙏
I hope this big guy has a security guard to protect him!
Beautiful animals. Regal, a magnificent. Love them.
Awesome bull tusker..
He is majestic...absolutely beautiful 😍❤
Lovely video,with the sounds of the natural birdlife as a back drop. Superb! Memories come flooding back, making my spine tingle, and wishing I was back there! 👍
@G G I've tramped much of southern Africa - usually on foot - from Zambia down through to SA. Mainly connected with safaris etc. Currently living in Australia. 👍
@G G Really, you're not missing much in Australia - miles and miles of land as flat and featureless as a witch's tit!!
What an awesomely gorgeous Bull tusker!
Thank you for sharing/uploading this video. I truly happy to see his video again. Pls. protect him from poachers.
Please Help And Save The Elephant Tuskers 🐘❤
And look at the size of his feet...amazing...and the ears...
Que criatura magnífica, majestoso!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
11:51 when he stoped on the track I started counting how many seconds till reverse lights turn on. Not too long.
Best video ever!!! LOVE
ELEPHANTS !!!
Excellent video !!!
Breathtaking.. He's simply stunning..
Yes, Incredible, majestic. One of natures marvels. God's own creation. A masterpiece. Use to be hundreds of thousands of those roaming the continent. Reminds me of the line in Jeremiah Johnson: "Good to see you still have a full head o hair when so many are after it." Let im be guys. He earned it.
Thanks very much, i think that he isn't the largest tusker, but he has the largest tusks. Magnificent
Im just in Aw! What a gorgeous being!
Beautiful & so majestic
What a handsome, majestic creature he is. I wonder if he is still with us? ❤️❤️🐘🐘🙏🙏
I have seen a video of an elephant running a tusk through a water buffalo and lifting it up over his head like it was a toy ...
Awesome footage!
SUCH MAGNIFICENCE!!!
Please protect these majestic animals people. Even though they’re so huge they are extremely graceful when they walk.
8:38 someone is very happy about what's going on there, I didn't realize elephants had 2 trunks
Yikes!
a 14 year old joke
years ago there was a older elephant with grayish skin that weighed almost 9 tons..
OMG!
The guy with the shorter tusks is actually bigger.
MAGNIFICENT !!!! 🌺❤🌺
Beautiful video. Was not spoiled by music.
For nature videos and some sporty videos, natural sound is fine. On the other hand, I once got a complaint on natural noise because some birds had shrill crys. For instructive videos voice or text is necessary to maintain decent content. People read at different speeds so you can't depend on text to carry the message. Now, here's the kicker, TH-cam decides how much and how long they will promote your video by content and low volume sound tracks are judged harshly. Since a monetized channel makes money by the number of views, subscriptions, and likes, the maker of this video probably cost himself some money because of the audio choice.
What do you do when faced with a giant tusker? You graciously back away. 😄
This elephant aught to have it's own bodyguards.
Wow! Look at the huge tusks on that big boy! Mammoth-like
A picture of grace and strength. Clearly, not a self-assembled organism made by the big bang, but a creature specially created by God.
This Male Bull Elephant is Magnificent, I Wonder What is His Height & Weight, Those Tuskers Look To Be Almost 2Meters, Absolute Beauty in All His Full Glory -
Wow. These guys gotta be watched over like a hawk. There's millions of dollars walking around there.
8:13 The other elephant stops & immediately backs up! 🤣
The trunk slung over a tusk is swagger. He is signaling to the other elephant not to be impudent.
9:39 Notice the elephant with both front feet off the ground. That must be a lot of pressure on his jaw.
I loved that part!
Not a robe nor crown...but Absolute Royalty
Very nice footage. Please ppl. let his majesty life a long and gracefull live without it being harmed!
Lets do everything possible to protect such beautyfull creatures by any means.
Time is running out and i hope they have enough time to at least pass on they'r genes so we can marvel at them in future generations!
thanks these vidios are cool.
Awesome creature! ❤🐘
Imagine describing these if they were long extinct. The description would be unbelievable.
Truly Majestic. This guy is too handsome, females would find him irrestible. He can spear anything on the ground without even lowering his head.
2:06 when the elephant turns toward the camera,....that's when you're glad elephant top speed is 15 mph.
In awe of God's magnificence. Lovely creatures.
Magnificent!
You people are so lucky to have that wild life over there,,you see some amazing things when you just leave these animals alone,,i think the worst thing that happened to this planet is humans,,
Magnificent and very majestic gentle giants, one of the greatest creation of God. May they always be blessed by God and may He protect them all from evil poachers. They do deserve to live in peace, freely in their habitats without the fear of poachers. 🙏🙏👍👍🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
One of this guys tusks would sell for over a half million dollars, now you see why they must be protected.
Long safe life beautiful king...💕
Wow no one mess with this guy, only human and gun can defeat him
And we pray that kind of, defeat, won't ever happen!
..... *That* ......was impressive ! Still , I wonder if that's even comfortable for this bull .........these huge tusks seemingly prevented him from getting into that high walled water reservoir.....or even problematic when mating......
The extinct Mammoths also had such huge tusks , but they were mostly curved upwards......I think he woudn't mind to be tranqualised and get at least his right tusk even with the left one ,
So nice
Wish satao.. Isilio... Tim were alive with this guy...
a lone elephant who was chased away by
his young leader...
That's Tim. He's a friend of mine from college.
I pray and hope that he is living a good life safe and sound
So? How big is he? How many pounds? Tons? How tall? Give us something!
I read just under 6 tons 🌺☺🌺
@@annebell7274 not big at all foi the so called biggest tusker alive..
@@roseforyoubabe He's big to me. My humble opinion. Magnificent, both of them 😎😎
There was a fly boozing my ear 😂🤣😂
He isn't drinking from the waterhole / well. Is he below the pecking order ? :-/
My good friend of the park
Giants walking on the Earth, while birds are singing along...
Interesting the way he sometimes rests his trunk on his tusk. I haven't seen that before.
I have seen that move from one video of rangers with an elephant who was aggressive. The uploader explained it's an aggressive/defensive move for an elephant. Guess it is here, in the video other elephants are coming near him, it was like he was posturing so they will back off and not get too close.
Just explain why is it so difficult to cut his tusks but not to kill?
At 7:55 you can see the elephant resting its trunk on its tusk, the trunk must get very heavy.
The elephant in the past and beautiful family and friends
Are all those eith tusks bulls?
What a beautiful creature of God!
Qué hermoso se ve poderoso
King of tusks
Вот это гигант, а какие огромные у него бивни, наверное последний из могикан.
