Do you happen to know where, specifically, in Africa the elephant died, or any other background details concerning it? Was it found dead, or was it shot, and at which of the Ripley Museum is the specimen currently displayed? Thanks again for posting the above info, and in advance for any extra data that you may be able to post. All the best, KarlDr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-67749585262779632032010-11-26T10:45:36.644+00:002010-11-26T10:45:36.644+00:00This elephant died in Africa in 2004 and was photo...This elephant died in Africa in 2004 and was photographed there (dead) with both its trunks, so its provenance is well known. Also Ripley's claim that both trunks have been DNA tested and come from the same animal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
