Natural life photographic artist Will Burrard-Lucas had a mind boggling experience meeting the ‘Queen of Elephants,’ AKA F_MU1 in Tsavo, Kenya in the last years of her life.
#1
Burrard-Lucas was at that point working on a task with the Tsavo trust shooting elephants in the area of Tsavo.
#2
While he was contemplating the region, he found out about F_MU1 AKA the Queen of Elephants. He was told she has a delicate demeanor and is an exceptionally glorious animal.

Following an inquiry enduring a few days, they at long last tracked down her, here is the way he reviews it:
“Over the shrubs I got a brief look at an elephant’s back and seconds after the fact she ventured out from the dark. I was confused. F_MU1 was thin and old yet she stepped forward with dignified elegance. Her tusks were long to the point that they scratched the ground before her. She resembled a relic from a former period.”

They went through the entire day with her, she drove them to her neighborhood watering opening where she persistently held up her go to wash.
#5
Each image caught the queen’s actual magnificence, each flaw addressing a triumph of time against the risks of poaching, draughts and other normal dangers, she made it this far.
#6
Sadly, she spent away only weeks after Burrard-Lucas caught these photographs, doubtlessly because of regular causes. Fortunately, these photographs deify her.
#7
She has made the cover for Burrard Lucas’ book, Land of Giants, which covers quite a while of elephant living in the area of Tvaso.
#8
Her long and prosperous life is absolutely a demonstration of the difficult work that the Tsavo Trust and the Kenyan Wildlife Services put in to secure these heavenly creatures.
#9
Burrard Lucas reviews the experience, “as a wild life photographic artist, a subject like F_MU1 is inconceivably uncommon; an animal that is extraordinary potentially the most exceptional of her sort but a creature that couple of have shot previously. The time I went through with her was a genuine advantage.”
