Less than three months after Cecil the Lion was shot dead, a German hunter has killed a large elephant with 122 pounds tusks in a game park in Zimbabwe.

The elephant is thought to have been the biggest elephant shot in living memory when it was killed on October 8 in Gonarezhou National Park in south-east Zimbabwe.

The majestic animal's tusks weighed 122 pounds and were so big that they dragged along the ground, according to Johnny Rodrigues Chairman for Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.

The hunter is believed to be a German national, who reportedly paid $60,000 (£39,000) for a hunting permit to shoot the colossal bull elephant as part of an organised hunt, according to The Telegraph.
