It is believed that Skewy was killed by another bull elephant.  He was found with several large gashes on his back thought to be made by the tusks of another elephant.  I'm lifted to hear that there were signs of other elephants visiting him to mourn their loss.  Everytime an elephant came to the waterhole, my hopes were always up that it would be Skewy.  Now I realize how special his visits were and cherish the memories.

I call this one 'Pieter`s Bull' as he (Pieter) was very impressed with him and predicted a great future for this Bull. Seen on the 06 6 am drive.

This bull (whom I'm nicknaming "Half Tusk"), not only has tusks which appear to have been broken off, but also has a distinct "fork" at the end of his tail. He appears to be an older/senior individual.
