What were the tusk weights of the Angola elephant? Apparently tuskless males do rarely exist, known as Buda's in the early hunting days by some. They were supposed to be larger than normal, the suggestion being the energy growing tusks was diverted to body size. And to be more bad tempered. They had a ball of ivory where the tusk roots lie in the skull. And somewhere in one of those balls of Ivory, one might find the fabled Elephant Stone the legend went.

Henrey wasn’t just the shaq of elephant but hearing the mf was 11 tons that’s make him mammoth sized, an absolute behemoth, would’ve been an honor to see him walk the earth

The treatment of the elephants mentioned really made me sad. Thank you for a great video as usual!

Truely tragic stories for those big elephants. The biggest of any species always get looked at as some next big status symbol if someone kills them. Never understood the appeal, but i do hope we can help save these animals, as well as many others. Always a treat to see your videos pal.

The appeal probably exists in saying you defeated something absolutely humongous in size, although I think that status has been washed down over the years from impressive to nothing. I know someone who said that when they were younger they always wanted to hunt the Big Five of Africa, however they later realized that its not really all its cracked up to be. Like I said to them, back in the years of black powder rifles that took anywhere from 20 seconds to a minute to reload it'd be an impressive feat, however modern firearms are far more advanced and you can easily kill stuff from far away with them and have way better accuracy.

In saying that for laughs, I think someone actually killed a leopard with their hands. The animal lunged and he threw his arm up for protection, and it went straight down the cat's throat. His arm got lodged in its throat and the leopard died from suffocation.

There are some conservationists who dye the tusks of elephants with natural dyes to make the ivory worthless. It is something that needs to be more widespread.

new video from one of my favorite channels

If you need another video idea, maybe you’d like to do a video on what the largest reliably measured hippopotamus is. Some claim the largest was over 9,000 lbs but I have some personal doubts/speculation of the context behind that. Might be another interesting one for you to tackle considering I think you do a fantastic job with these kind of videos!

Thank you very much Sir for enlightening us!!!

They'll say "Awwww Topsy" at my Autopsy!

I’m sorry wild world, but I just don’t get it. How is it possible that you are making impressively informing and very well put together videos and you somehow don’t have at least 1 million subs. You really deserve a million, your videos are great. Hey, keep it up and soon very soon, I promise, you will have a huge channel. Edit: on a side note, I will watch one of your longer videos, then proceed to think about it for the next week. Your videos are amazing, simply just really impressive. But how do you make a video 10 minutes long yet are able to teach us so much. How?

Dang, so the record for the largest African bush elephant was a full ton heavier than has been claimed! 😮

Grate! PLS do moose and bears

Also there’s interesting there are pigmy African forest elephants from the Congo. Also it’s cool there are two distinct elephant species.

This is so sad 😞 😢

Yeah stories like jumbo and tilikum the killer whale, kindly to me being really on the fence about captivity overall. Which is sad because zoos can do amazing work in breeding as well as studying animals however it almost makes me wonder if that good is worth it considering the damage that is done in the past two animals like jumbo

@aff77141

The problem is all regulation centric. An animal like an elephant or orca should never be alone in an enclosure, rather a reserve, while other animals can get by so long as they have proper enrichment. But no wild animal should be captive to begin with unless necessary for their health or the species survival.

This whole video broke my heart. Yes I’m sitting here crying. Some people are disgusting, selfish, disrespectful and have no morals, values or compassion for God’s most magnificent, majestic creatures.

Men have wreaked havoc on nature 😢 😢 how incredible it would've been to have Henry live to the end of his days and pass on his genes for much longer than he did

Epic! Also interestingly there is a photo of a skull of an African elephant with four tusks. Also whoa! African elephants are awesome, 11 tons that’s Colombian mammoth sized. Also wonder how large Chinese allligators got in historical times? Also dwarf crocodile species in certain countries seem to have sizes larger than reported in the species it would seem, there are three distinct species currently known. Also interestingly there is a photo of a 19 foot west African crocodile crocodylus suchus from Gambia.

@@eliletts8149 whoa! That’s actually quite incredible, a 10 foot alligator is pretty large already, so a Chinese alligator that size would be quite awesome to see! Also wonder how much more broader it’s skull would be at that size, even more robust snout, and preying on larger prey items, and digging more larger burrows. There was also historically besides the Chinese alligator in China, there was also populations of saltwater crocodile and even a giant species of gharial related to the Malayan gharial that went extinct during the Bronze Age. Here was a paper on it and it got 6m!

Bro this video was so sad.

I hate how many AMAZING creatures that existed but are gone because people wanted to hunt them all. I don't get how even back then, why couldn't they have thought about how much more beneficial it would have been if they kept some alive they could have kept reproducing and the animal would still be around.. Like the dodo.. My imagination likes to ponder about what if dodos where still around into the modern world..

I clicked on the video for big elephants but these adverts piss me off arghh

henry was probably not the biggest, but he was still the Sultan Kösen of the bush elephants

I thought genetic evidence suggests there's 3 species of elephant in Africa. I guess I was wrong.

The fact that people "hunt" for "sport" disgust me.

@@southernafricanboy4148 Ummm..... African elephants have been tamed, and used in captivity for thousands of years. Probably the most famous of these were Hannibal's 'War Elephants', which came from a now extinct population of African elephants. African elephants can be tamed just as easily as Asian elephants. It's just that places like circuses, zoos, and other exhibits, prefer Asian elephants because they are smaller(by comparison). And Jumbo was DEFINITELY and African elephant. It's clear as day.
