I had the great honour of being asked by World Renown Wildlife Artist Karen Lawrence Rowe, if she could paint my image of the White Rhino Bull confrontation at a waterhole. I of course said yes!
Karen will be exhibiting her artwork at the Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition organised by the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation on July 1st, 2024. She was happy for me to let you all have a sneak preview of the Rhinos in action! What an amazing Wildlife artist she is! Check out her website for more details: https://www.karenlaurence-rowe.com

Little Dumbo the baby Elephant, is so cheeky, he won't let the Helmeted guinea fowls anywhere near his water hole. He has real attitude, that's for sure!
The Guinea fowl wait for the herd to move on before approaching the water to drink. The smaller creatures have learnt to give way to the giant pachyderms.

Elephants in the dust at dusk.

As the sun sets over the dry lake bed, an Elephant Matriarch leads her little family away from the swamp and into the surrounding hills where they will spend the night feeding in the acacia woodlands there.

Two 1 year old baby Elephant calves play with each other in the dust next to a waterhole, while the rest of the herd drinks.

As the Elephants arrive at the waterhole, they chase everyone else away.

BATTLE OF TITANS.
Two Adult White Rhino bulls engage in mortal combat, their giant horns crash loudly against each other whilst their huge nostrils blow hot air into the dry earth, shrouding the combatants in a cloud of fine dust.
Female White Rhinos look on, ready to judge a winner and possibly their next suitor?
Finally there is an outcome and a Winner!

R.I.P IL Talal. From the Wild Vision Adventures Team

Today we have lost a Tsavo Icon. Mourning IL TALAL one of Africa’s last great Super “Tuskers”

It is with great sadness that today we report on the death of IL Talal, one of Tsavo’s most iconic and well-loved super tuskers. He was well known for his long symmetrical ivory that touched ground. He was a shy elephant and often in the company of 2 or 3 other bulls (his askari’s or body guards). He lived close to human settlements on the edge of the Tsavo West National Park.

We first caught wind that IL Tala had been suffering from a suspected spear wound in late Feb. Our partners MWCT informed us immediately and two treatments have been carried out since with the KWS veterinary unit (supported by DSWT). IL Talal seemed to be making a good recovery. He was monitored daily by MWCT scouts and all seemed ok, but sadly he died last night. The post-mortem diagnosis confirmed that IL Talal died from a twisted colon, which is believed to sometimes occur after heavy rains bringing on an abundance of succulent plants, which has been the case recently.

Tsavo Trust has been enthusiastically monitoring IL Talal for the last 8 years and MWCT has known him for the last 20 years.

There are positives to be taken from the death of IL Talal: he has lived a full life and died in his twilight years; he has also undoubtedly spread his tusker genes widely; he has brought together conservation partnerships (such as the Tusker monitoring carried out by MWCT & TT - Big Tusker project) and his ivory was recovered (and did not fall into the wrong hands) as a result of this consistent monitoring.

Tusk status:

Lip circumstance: 17.5 inches

Right
Weight: 101.4 lbs
Length from lip: 77 inches
Total length: 98 inches

R.I.P IL Talal.
