Amboseli TA family group

1995: Tuskless’s daughter Tulip gave birth at the tender age of ten in January. (Teryl F 1-95)

By 1998 it was obvious that Teryl had
inherited her mother and grandmother’s tusklessness, so this calf had neither a tail nor Tusks.

2009: everything changed dramatically when Amboseli was hit by the worst drought in living memory. There simply wasn’t enough food for the animals.

In the TAs Teryl also died as well as well as three calves.
