15 Animals That Will Hunt You Back

Tuskless African Elephants

After hundreds of years of being hunted for their ivory, there is a shift happening in the gene pool of African elephants and a larger population is tuskless, both male and female.

In areas where elephants are overpopulated, some parks have permits for hunters to take tuskless elephants of either sex, but generally hunters will be looking for cows. Cow elephants are notoriously more aggressive than bulls and protective of not only their own young, but also other young in the herd. Tuskless bulls also tend to be more aggressive than tusked bulls.
