Just like humans hands, elephants are either left or right-tusked. They use their dominant tusk to dig up earth, uproot vegetation, lever objects & sometimes even employ it as a trunk rest! #WorldElephantDay
RIP #XPL99 Another #DesertLion shot for being a Lion by MET. NO WILDLIFE = NO TOURISTS = NO $$$. But as Namibia has been sold to the Chinese, wildlife does not count.
From human-wildlife conflict to habitat destruction, Kenya’s wildlife is under threat. That’s why, through our pioneering field projects, we work to address these challenges so that humans & wildlife can live in harmony for generations to come: https://t.co/aFBmXlEkHJ
I am disappointed in #Iceland@katrinjak. First you allow the hunting of endangered Fin Whales. Now the company hunting the #Whales have killed a critically endangered Blue Whale. Their liscence should be revoked immediately. RT to get Iceland Prime Minister attention!
There were only 30 of these ‘big tuskers’ left in the ENTIRE world last month.
Now there are 29.
This big Tusker was murdered by a #Trophyhunter in Zimbabwe.
If that was the human race, he would have just killed 3.3% of the population-over 250 million people

On this day in 1960, Dr. Jane Goodall 1st set foot in Tanzania to begin her research on the incredible lives of wild chimpanzees.
Today, we commend #JaneGoodallInst on the launch of the FIRST EVER #WorldChimpanzeeDay - to raise awareness about chimp conservation 🐵
These two 'hunters' smile contentedly after killing a 'TAME' lion in a 'canned hunt' and then hanging it's carcass on the branch of a tree!
Canned hunters are even BIGGER scum than trophy hunters.
RT if you want canned hunting BANNED!!
Iceland whale hunters have slaughtered an endangered blue whale!
These majestic giants are the biggest creature to ever exist in the universe (as far as we know). Yet once again humans lack the respect that this magnificent beast deserves.
Tell @katrinjak to please STOP this!
Uganda is known for having over 1000 bird species; a bird watcher's dream destination. I look forward to the moments after the rain, and mornings when all the birds are singing.
