 Robert Bateman Signature 

Tembo Elephant - Loxodonta africana - Robert Bateman

"Elephants deserve the high stature they enjoy. We humans appreciate them not just for
their impressive size, but also for their high order of intelligence and sophisticated social
structure. Unlike most animals, they care about each other’s welfare. Most herds are
composed of adult females and young. When the juvenile males start to take too much
interest in “the girls,” they are expelled form the herd and roam in loose bachelor groups
that are much smaller in size than the family groups. My family and I encountered one
such bachelor group in a park in northeast Kenya. We were delighted and surprised to
find several bulls with very large tusks.

Frighteningly, this area is right within the range of organized gangs of poachers,
particularly in Somalia.   Although the park is patrolled against poaching, the rangers
are too few in number and are usually out-gunned. Those tusks must be awfully tempting
to the illicit ivory trade. We hoped the bulls we saw there would stay close to the
tourist areas for safety. We, however, got too close to this fellow. Though his tusks
were large, he was young and feisty and presented us with an impressive false charge.
He is “Tembo” in Swahili - a familiar term for elephant. I hope that he will live to a
ripe old age and pass on his genes to future generations of elephants so future
generations of humans can appreciate them."
