These are the final images ever captured of a rare mammoth-like ‘Queen of elephants’ – whose tusks were so long they dragged on the ground.

The photos of the majestic mammal, known as F_MU1, were captured by British photographer Will Burrard-Lucas in a national park in Tsavo, Kenya.

Full-time snapper Will, 35, from Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, took the shots shortly before the 8ft elephant – whose tusks were estimated to be up to 6ft 5ins in length – died peacefully of natural causes at more than 60 years old.

Will said: "Tsavo is home to some of the last remaining ‘big tuskers’ – elephants with tusks weighing in excess of 100lbs on each side.
