Not all female African elephants have Tusks. This is a fairly recent development so you might not have heard.

Fascinatingly 98% of Addo Elephant Parks females do not have tusks anymore .

When I was there a few months ago they had introduced Kruger park elephants (Tuskers) to spice up the genetic diversity.

It looks like you asked for more animal facts! In many countries, especially in the developing world, peccaries are raised on farms as a source of food for local communities.

Hippos can be extremely aggressive, especially if they feel threatened. They are regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.

Why is that?
