The oldest ♂️ elephants play a crucial role in mentoring young males, keeping them in check. The elimination of older ♂️ threatens herd stability & can lead to 'rogue' juveniles that cause problems for other wildlife & man #NotYourTrophy @SuluhuSamia

Some Amboseli males in their early 30s have huge tusks yet are only just entering their reproductive prime, but the size of their tusks make them targets for trophy hunters who conveniently categorise them as “old.” @SuluhuSamia @OUtalii #NotYourTrophy

Hunters claim to only shoot 🐘males who are old and no longer reproductive, however older males between 35 and 55 are the primary breeders! @SuluhuSamia @AngellahKairuki @mfa_tanzania @OUtalii @TzTawa #NotYourTrophy

Every year Tourists from all over the 🌏, travel to see individuals like Craig, these elephants are so much more valuable to nations alive than dead, their slaughter makes NO SENSE? @SuluhuSamia @AngellahKairuki @mfa_tanzania #NotYourTrophy

🐘targeted by hunters are ♂️ in their reproductive prime, specifically those with large tusks. The shape & size of an elephants tusks are a heritable trait, elimination of these elephants will ultimately reduce tusk length in a population. #NotYourTrophy

Recently 3 (4th hunt underway) of the few remaining ‘Super Tuskers’ on earth have been senselessly slaughtered by trophy hunters under licenses issued by the 🇹🇿 Tanzania Govt. @SuluhuSamia @AngellahKairuki @mfa_tanzania @OUtalii @TzTawa #Notyourtrophy

A voice of reason, the slaughter of the Amboseli Super tuskers 🐘 holds no benefit for any party! @SuluhuSamia @AngellahKairuki @mfa_tanzania @OUtalii @TzTawa #NotYourTrophy

This is Ganesh, Amboseli's oldest living male elephant at 61! Ganesh is from the GB family, surpassing the average male elephant lifespan by almost two decades. We were thrilled to see him again after last seeing him at the end of 2021.

What do you think of these this #wolf? @KyKebero @WildCRU_Ox @ClaudioSillero @Arctic_paws @MarinoJorgelina @wildnetorg

How does a species balance the costs and benefits of living in a group through time allocation? A new paper published in @SpringerNature, led by WildCRU’s @ElisaSeres explores this question in a study of #Ethiopian #wolves. bit.ly/3R0loWz 1/3
