Big tuskers have very large sockets in the skull to support heavy tusks. The biggest tusks (world record were found by a slave caravan about 130 years ago on the lower slopes of Kilimanajro). They were taken to Zanzibar and were bought by the British Consul there. The Consul took them to London and they can now be viewed at the British Museum by appointment only.
Sir Mbarak Ali Hinawy was a charismatic figure at the Kenya Coast and entertained royalty. Photo shows him with the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth wife of King George VI.
