The little elephant calf put all his energy into the playful battle, repeatedly trying to knock his much larger sibling into the pool.

Elephants in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park Are Evolving Without Tusks After 16 Years of Civil War and Ivory Poaching

  In Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park , African elephants that survived extensive ivory poaching during the country’s 16-year civil war are evolving remarkably — they are increasingly born without tusks. Nearly 90% of the park’s elephants were killed for their ivory during the conflict, which lasted from 1977 to 1992, as the profits were used to fund weapons. Since then, about one-third of female elephants born after the war have not developed tusks. Some in the herd show no tusks, while others have much smaller ones. Scientists believe this trait, passed down through generations, reduces the animals’ appeal to poachers. In a typical scenario, male and female African elephants grow ivory tusks up to 10 feet long. However, the elephants that survived the war are now influencing future generations with their tuskless genes, making it a possible evolutionary shift. Dominique D’Emi

Though the noises he makes this time are softer, he continues to entertain with his sleepy antics. Khun-Seuk’s mahout shared, “He’s just like a human—he loves to sleep. But the sounds he makes are some of the strangest I’ve ever heard.”
