Meet Thaba!

Walter Gwarada introduces Thaba.

Name of elephant: Thaba
Meaning of name: Happiness
Age: 21
Weight: 4 and half tons
Shoulder height: 2,8 metres
Favourite browse: Rhus species

Behaviour: Very docile but not stupid. An unrevealing character with withdrawn brown eyes. Strong sense of humour though - may just stretch down to politely ask people to get off.

Appearance: Body length shorter than the other two elephants, Mukwa and Duma. Easy to identify due to a less developed broken tusk as a result of dominance fighting. Very rounded head profile
