Elephant relative 'lost to science' spotted for first time in 50 years Also known as Somali sengi (Elephantulus revoilii), the mammal has a long nose, large eyes and a tuft of fur on its tail https://www.foxnews.com/science/elephant-relative-lost-to-science-spotted-first-time-50-years

Use enough gun! I thought from the title it might be for square/rectangular ivory with doube roots.... The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

You talk a lot of sense, a H&H .470 nitro express would probably be more appropriate. You don’t want to get charged by one of those and not have enough gun.
