In the legends about the largest elephant and the longest tusks in the world, that of Satao dominates, the African elephant that lived in the Tsavo East National Park in Kenya, having come there from Tanzania.
The rare elephant was coveted for the size of its tusks and although attempts were made to protect it from poachers the super-animal was killed in 2016.
Satao is believed to have been born in the late 1960s and was around 45 to 50 years old when he died.
He was one of the largest elephants in the world and one of the most famous animals in Kenya, from his tusks that reached the surface of the earth, in a length of about 2 meters.

Satao's teeth were estimated to weigh about 45 kg each.
