ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

'Tim' is a representation of a bull elephant from the Amboseli ecosystem in southern Kenya. He was named by Cynthia Moss, who has been studying this population of elephants since 1972. Tim had been a favorite with tourists for many years due to his tall stature and his huge sweeping tusks. He was always one of the elephants I looked for when in Amboseli. Sadly, Tim died of a twisted gut in February of 2020 at the age of 51. I was fortunate to see him during my last visit, three months prior.
