Amboseli NP, Kenya - pinnae absent. It was in 1953 that Gertie settled in at her new home bringing with her a newly born bull calf. This little oddity had only half a tail, and no ears at all, and soon received the name of 'Pixie'. The two presented a rare sight. The mother with the incredibly long horn and the curious little son with just two holes where the ears should be.
