Nice photo of male eland... but what is this in the foreground?

    Only appears in the second frame. Doesn't look anything like an eland horn. Is it the horn of another species, an ear, or a tongue even?

    I wonder if it might be a warthog tusk?

    Yes, it's a warthog tusk -- quite an odd combination of species!
