For 15 Years From 1977 To 1992.
A Civil War Occurred In An African Country Of MOZAMBIQUE.
In Which The Soviet Union Supported The Communist Mozambican Govt..
Whereas United States Supported The Anti Communist Insurgents.
The Biggest Price Of War Was Paid By The Elephant Population.
When 90% Of Elephant Population Was Slaughtered.
By Both Army And Insurgents To Collect Their Ivory.
That Was Sold In Black Market To Finanace The Conflict.
In This Elephants Without Tusks Were Alone Left.
Leading To An Increased Likelihood Of Their Survival.
And Passing Those Traits To The Coming Generation.
Today More And More Elephants Are Being Born Tusk Less.
Before The War, 18.5% Of Females Were Naturally Tusk Less.
But Today That Figure Has Risen To 33% Of The Elephants.
