Kenyans are mourning the death of Craig, a beloved 'super tusker' elephant whose life in the wild symbolised the nation's growing success in protecting its elephant population from ivory poachers.
The bull elephant, aged 54, passed away on Saturday in Amboseli National Park, a protected area in southern Kenya popular with safari tourists. The Kenya Wildlife Service confirmed his death, describing Craig as 'the legendary super tusker famed for its immense, ground-sweeping tusks and calm, dignified presence'.
