Tribute to Muliluane

This old tusker - maybe my age - deserves to be back in the picture.

For those who want to know what said - keep the sound low! Here follow the "lyrics"
ALL OF A SUDDEN - THERE HE WAS in Djuma and on WE. On Oct 26th 2009. Was it an apparition - was he real? That one afternoon in the haze?

Inspiration from Pieter "the stories he could tell" and Lieschen "tender cam work"

THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES...... F Mercury/queen

This guy has seen it all before.
The tales this 50 odd year old bull could tell!

Aaaah.... his infancy, born to nobility of the matriarch of the famly group. Spoiled silly by his doting mother. The waxing years going too quickly perhaps...getting into trouble a little too often, until that fateful day....

Oh..... the junior years after mom sent him packing, when he had finally stepped over the edge in showing off and injured his little brother.

Then wandering in the bush with some buddies, telling tall tales of ambition yet to be fulfilled.

The testing of his skills with his companions - who would later become rivals. Some falling along the way.

The battles to cool his hormones.

Finally the rewards of proving himself to be the DOMINANT MALE in the area.

MULILUANE, MULILUANE they shouted.... the roars of approval.
Who knows if he ever met up with some of his famous counterparts ....

-- the undefeatable DIONYSIS
-- the mountain monster THOR
and many others
- who knows?

ALL OF AFRICA KNEW THEM and perhaps Muliluane was among them!

The many many loves in many a herd..... aaah what stories to tell!

Finally watching his many many children grow to continue his line!
His seeds are sown he has done his part in making the African elephant what it is......THE BIGGEST STRONGEST land based species there is.

Well done Muliluane!

And then....
The younger tougher rivals that finally displaced him. Oh the battles fought, the wins and then finally that fatal loss and run for cover. The winner would never have won in your prime!

And now the waning years..
....remembering and reliving his life, his triumphs, his place in HISTORY! Bravo Muliluane,

Hail this Caesar and ALL those Caesarians, long may you live.

We will meet again Muliluane, whether in this life or the next.

HAIL MULILUANE!
HAIL LOXODONTA AFRICANA!
that we may NEVER have to miss them..........................
