Jeeze...people know nothing about elephants, do they? A large bull will average *about* 10 feet at the shoulder. This individual is closer to 11.5 and 6 or 7 tons. Claims of 15 feet are absurd. To put it in perspective, mammoths, which were much bigger, reached about 13 feet at the shoulder. The largest land mammal ever, which was actually related to the rhinoceros, reached about 18 feet at the shoulder. If it were 15 or 20 feet tall, it would weigh well over 10 tons - closer to 15 or more.
@Dungarth Really? sorry but i dont think any elephant in this modern world can reach 20feet tall because the rate of elephant height is only 13feet tall
@hanten10 Youtube doesn't allow edits, I meant on 2 feet its over 20ft tall but on all 4s close to 15ft. And the average height of an adult male African Elephant on all 4s is 14ft. Duke is an exceptionally larger Elephant.
Beautiful Duke - you can see he is having difficulty eating the stick, his last teeth must have been worn right down. He is magnificent. I am sorry he has gone from the earth but glad if he had to die - that it was a natural death, not for his tusks. Vale Duke.
Yes it is true. The very sad news from Kruger Park was announced on 7 October 2011 that Duke had died of natural causes (old age) at 55+ years. Rest in peace big boy, you were a great and magnificant beast. You did the Kruger National Park, South
Africa, yourself and all those who saw you, loved you, and knew you proud.
This video got meinterested into elephants a lot more, I have learned so much thanks to your video! I learned about the average elephan (which is so interesting!) I also learned about "Duke" who lost his tusks naturally. People said it was a shame, but I tend to digress. Nature wanted him to lose his tusks, but nature's balance sure is upset about what we do to the wild! I hope DUKE lives long without gis tusks, but I heard it may be difficult. At least, this is nature's way! Awesome video!
You really get the scale of that incredible beast when the cars look like toy cars! Epic music, I'm sure "Duke" would be happy with this video of him :D
@QuinnyyMini you are absolutely right! Without nature, humans can,t live enymore here on this planet but humans will realize that probably when it is to late. It is bad to have people like Mister Mister FUC on this planet, he has to learn so much about nature to understand what he is talking about.
The first tusk was broken in 2008 (I think) and the second one is now broken, also. Duke is still alive. People said : he is more than 50 years old...
To think this animal can run at speeds of 60 mph plus is amazing, and jump from a standstill 6ft maybe possible 7ft is incredable to say the least, they have been seen hopping and skipping just like deer, very versatile indeed.
i would really love to think these amazing animals will still be alive in 100 years, but i fear humans are too greedy. governments should start making a cap on how many children you can have. two is more then enough. the world is already full
One day all of the earth's surface will be a single giant city with nothing more than a few artificial nature-parts. And that is exactly how it should be, we are the dominant species on this planet and because of that, we own everything here and nobody is able to do something against this fact. No god, no good and no bad, there is nothing but the basic laws of nature.
@drakkbrecher Why do you speak that way? Why should the Earth be a desolate place with nothing but artificial plants? that could never be. We may be dominant but certainly not superior, and we certainly don't own anything on this planet. We share it with other creatures. We are breaking the laws of nature and as such will most certainly die out quicker than any other species. We are digging our own grave very fast.
@flingfready for over 10 million yeah the human population has stayed almost static..in the past 100 years (since the industrial revolution) the population has increased X 6.... and shows no signs of slowing
@MisterMisterFun thats called being a leech on society and it wont be long before all governments are forced to start legislating how many children you can have like they have to in china.
@flingfready You've obviously never been to the midwest in the US...one of the smaller continents, and WIDE open spaces....Our world is already full?...idiot.
@borninfreedom dude u shud come to sri lanka..thats my country...n asian elephants are amazing..well they are mejestic in their own way...amazing creatures...
@MrWolfman456 - Thanks, but we do know that Duke is alive and well. I saw him in December 2010 at Lower Sabie. You mentioned an elephant that is 84 years old. If you stay in Phalaborwa, love Kruger Park and the elephants, you are then supposed to know that elephants NEVER ever reach 84. A maximum age (and nothing more) would be 60. Sorry to burst your bubble, please check the facts before you post. Contact Neels van Wyk who is the sectional ranger for Crocodile
@streifly - So sad actually that Mashagadzi is also no longer with us. I was in Kruger
Park for 3 weeks during December 2010. Neels van Wyk who is the a friend of mine and also sectional ranger at Krokodilbrug, mentioned that there are currently not any
real huge tuskers such as Duke or Mashagadzi in Kruger. Fortunately there are quite
a few upcoming bulls (such as Muliluane) with large tusks who have enormous potential. The video of Duke by Borninfreedom is great.
@milarangzen - Duke`s statistics are not 100% certain & have been mentioned by
@awbvrou on this thread previously, which I beleive to be very close. Height approx
3,4m - weight approx 7,500 kg - age approx 55. Both tusks have broken off, and he now has two very short tusks. The intact tusks could have weighed 80-90 kg each
and 2,7-3,0m long. He was the biggest tusker in Kruger Park & still alive. The tusks (broke in a fight?) have been recovered by rangers. Very nice video, borninfreedom.
Fortunately elephants are not endangered in the Southern African subcontinent. The
estimate is that Botswana and Zimbabwe together carry approx 100,000 elephant with numbers increasing. South Africa has approx 20,000. In Mozambique, Zambia, Namibia and Angola combined approx 10,000 elephant, and numbers also on an
upward curve. Access to elephants in Kruger Park SA, is world renowned. SA also
has impeccible conservation, and the largest tuskers. Rhino numbers are shocking
@TheChickenlover2 - yeah i think African chicken too are more wiser than Asian chicken you moron "chickenlover" its not the matter Elephants are Asian or African both are en danged animals need to be protected from mankind. segregation is not the answer. just help the course in some way. seems elephants are wiser than you.
general public in my country think elephant is the pride and beauty of a my country. there are many poachers in our country too which is sad. this elephant is a absolute beauty of your country please protect him and rest.
@orangedac Males usually live on their own. If you put more males in they would fight, and if you put a herd of females in it wouldn't want to be with them.
80kg each, age 50 - 55 years (they very seldom reach 60). Tusk length approx 2,8m.
He really is a magnificent beast, allthough tuskless. Kruger Park elephant bulls
are renowned as carrying the largest tusks in Africa due to a good & preserved genetic pool. Duke was the largest tusker. There are many young bulls with huge
Not humans or mighty whales are comparable to the majesty and sublime of this animal, so carefully cut, shaped, and packaged by evolution. We humans today are very lucky, to be witnesses to the last of these giant land animals. Unfortunately, the great, giant sea creatures as well as land's biggest animals like the elephants, tiger, and lions will all likely become extinct in 100-200 years, since mankind has taken most of their environment, poisoned the rest, & also actively poach them.
I would say in about 300 to 500 years all predators over 50 pounds and all herbivores over 150 pounds will be extinct...Due to the expansion of the human population more then poaching and hunting...
@gowildlife - Before Duke`s tusks were both broken, he was Kruger`s no 1 largest tusker. In body mass/size he is not the largest, likely at least no 3. How is "biggest elephant" defined. Largest body, tallest, most mass, largest tusks? Not all elephants in Kruger are named, only the large tuskers.There are other unknown small tusked bull`s that are massive & heavier. I`ve been criticised for making these comments, but they are facts. Duke remains a massive bull, a pity that he is now tuskless.
@awbvrou I understand exactly what you are saying. I think that the "biggest" elephant should be defined by the largest body/largest body mass, not by tusk size. However, some people define the biggest elephant as the one who is both the tallest and one of the heaviest.
You should not be criticized for making these comments. You have a very good point; tuskless bull elephants or big bull elephants with shorter tusks should not be regarded as smaller than big tuskers. Duke is tuskless?!
Duke is huge! I think he weighs more than 15,000 pounds, maybe 15,600 pounds. Are you sure he's the biggest elephant in Kruger Park? He may have the biggest tusks, and definitely is a dominant elephant, maybe No. 2 or 3, if not No. 1. But he appears to be a respectable, wise, and gentle elephant (as long as he's not in the musth state!).
Yes, sure. 1978 the shot a massive bull, the largest ever. But Colonel Joe is now named as the biggest elephant in the world, I think because he is still alive :)
Jeeze...people know nothing about elephants, do they? A large bull will average *about* 10 feet at the shoulder. This individual is closer to 11.5 and 6 or 7 tons. Claims of 15 feet are absurd.

Mh I don't think that he is the biggest one. Colonel Joe, an asian elephant from the circus Krone is the biggest :)

@silvermoonorca Aren't African elephants the largest elephants ?
thatguy2love 1 year ago
Yes, sure. 1978 the shot a massive bull, the largest ever. But Colonel Joe is now named as the biggest elephant in the world, I think because he is still alive :)
