(THE MAJESTIC TIM: ONE OF AFRICA'S LAST BIG 'TUSKER' ELEPHANTS
The Majestic Tim, as he was fondly known, came to be one of Africa's Last Big Tusker Elephants and an African Elephant Ambassador. Tim was 11 feet tall and weighed about 12,000 lbs.
Named Tim by Cynthia Moss, founder of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. He came from a family of 'T's- a family consisting Teresia, Trista, Tolstoy, Theodora, Tallulah and Townsend; born to an elephant cow named Trista since in December 1969. Majestic Tim's grandmother, Teresia was the leader of Amboseli's TD family.
On February 14th, Tuesday morning, Tim died of natural causes in Mada area of Amboseli National Park, has towered over the plains of the Amboseli for over 50 years, becoming a global tourist magnet for his huge tusks. His record age, which made him the world's largest running scientific study of the species.
Outside of his huge tusks that drew tourists to Amboseli, Tim was known for terrorizing local farmers, through nocturnal raids with his gang of about 12 other males, a feat that made conservationists collar him. In 2016, farmers attacked the elephant with spears for invading their farms and destroying crops.
Tim had developed a great appetite for tomatoes and maize and would sneak in the dead of the night to invade farms around Amboseli National Park. This forced rangers, under a special project comprising the Save the Elephant, Amboseli Trust for Elephants, Big Life Foundation, Kenya Wildlife Service and the community to fit him with a radio collar for tracking him down; giving him 24 hours surveillance and protection even though he would use all tactics to evade them. The team would always use the information on his collar to create an elephant corridor to reduce human-wildlife conflict in Amboseli.
Tim was said to be gentle and intelligent. His big tusks were also star attraction for tourists, with one weighing 72 kilograms, while the other weighed 73 kilograms, according to the Kenya Wildlife Service(KWS)
Although elephant families are matriarchal and males are solitary when they reach sexual maturity, Tim was always welcome to travel in the company of females and their families. He was assuming, unpretentious and laid back. He brought so much joy to many people.
Two years ago, the big tusker cheated death after getting in the mud for several hours before being rescued by rangers.
Big Tim will be preserved through taxidermy for education and exhibition purposes at the Nairobi National Museum.)
