True. However, there were also Eritrians called "Ascaris" attached to
the Italian forces in East Africa during WW2 . My late father fought
against them. The Italians were eventually driven out the SA forces
advanced into Egypt. Thanks for looking.

So, what is an "Ascari for an older bull"?
Google turns up "Ascari Cars Ltd" named after Alberto Ascari, but your guy
don't look like he's quite streamlined enough for Formula 1 or Le Mans.

I spent a couple of days sorting out a friend's K100D. Took some test shots at my
favourite haunt, Sable Dam in the Kruger Park, only 15km from home. This young Elephant
Bull, an Ascari for an older bull, harrassed all approaching vehicles with mock charges
& loud trumpeting. Don't be fooled by his small tusks - he is still a lot of Bull!
Some idiots took him by surprise & shot past at speed when he moved to the edge of
the road. Eventually the pair moved off without incident.

BTW I see I had the date set as 28/08/2020 rather than 28/08/2021. The K100D
still did a fine job. The problem was an internally damaged D-AL 75-300. The
camera was fine with any other lens.
K100D & DA 18-55 WR.
