PIC BY Will Burrard-Lucas / CATERS NEWS - (Pictured: The elephant with huge tusks) - These are the final images ever captured of a rare mammoth-like Queen of elephants whose tusks were so long they dragged on the ground. The photos of the majestic mammal, known as F_MU1, were captured by British photographer Will Burrard-Lucas in a national park in Tsavo, Kenya. Full-time snapper Will, A35, from Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, took the shots shortly before the 8ft elephant whose tusks were estimated to be up to 6ft 5ins in length died peacefully of natural causes at more than 60 years old. Will spent days searching for the elephant, as the national park area she called her home was the size of Switzerland. His photos show her drinking at waterholes, eating acacia tree branches and striding towards the camera. He was able to capture intimate shots from below using a specially-concealed remote controlled camera buggy known as a Beetlecam, which he developed in 2009 to capture close-up photos of potentially-dangerous African wildlife.
