14 December 2018 UNDER Blog

Riff Raff is a 6.5 tonne bull elephant that has fathered more than his fair share of calves and has certainly contributed towards the cause of helping save his species for future generations. Hopefully this guy will be allowed to live because as things stand he is in danger of being killed by villagers in the South African province of Limpopo who see him as a nuisance because he raids their crops.
