Protecting elephants with coveted tusks
Manage episode 428418528 series 3488059
Rare elephants known as "supertuskers" live along the border of Tanzania and Kenya, and the two countries are at odds over whether to allow hunters to kill the elephants. "Supertuskers" are known for their massive tusks, weighing upwards of 100 pounds each — tusks so long they scrape the ground as the elephants walk. Host Carolyn Beeler discusses growing disputes over how to protect the iconic "supertusker" with conservationist Amy Dickman.
