Tim, a huge elephant in Amboseli National Park. Dr. Paula Kahumbu of WildlifeDirect says: “I know for a fact that Kenyans are falling in love with elephants because they now know that there is magnificent guy called Tim who is the stud and the heartthrob of all the girl elephants in Amboseli. The first thing they ask at the gate is: ‘where is Tim?’” Photo courtesy of: Paul Obuna/WildlifeDirect.
