The Magnificent Seven Elephants were seven bull elephants who lived in Kruger National Park in South Africa through the 1980s.[1][2] They were so-named for the impressive 50 kg of ivory in their tusks.[3]
In 1980, park management decided to promote the seven elephants to showcase their conservation accomplishments. A series of portraits were released by Paul Bosman[4] along with several articles from the Park's Senior Researcher, Dr. Anthony Hall-Martin.
This sparked a public fascination with large elephants. When each of the seven died, their tusks and skulls were placed in a museum. After the tusks were exhibited in Olifants Rest Camp for a while, the Elephant Museum was opened in Letaba Rest Camp. Six of the elephant's tusks are exhibited there: Dzombo, Kambaku, Mafunyane, Ndlulamithi, Shawu en Shingwedzi.[5] Those of the seventh, João, were unfortunately stolen in 1984 and never found.[3][6]
