An elephant classified as a "Super Tusker" carries tusks that are so long and heavy they often scrape the ground, with each tusk weighing more than 100 pounds (45 kg).

They are incredibly rare, with fewer than 30 to 40 of these gentle giants estimated to be alive across the entire African continent.

A normal elephants tusks weigh 50 to 80 pounds a tusk.

Check out our deep, well-reflected definitions of an absolute unit.

RULES:

Posting

1) Post Absolute Units only.

Only Absolute Units are allowed. No normal units.

See definition here.
Post absolute units, not actual units

Absolute units only. Not measuring units. It was punny the first time, now it's old. Straight out bans will be handed.
No Photoshopped Units

Only real absolute units are allowed. No AI, art, cartoon, edited or video game units.

2) Post public figures only

No creepshots / No fat shaming pics allowed / No female bodybuilders

We're looking for animals mostly, particularly cute animals which happen to be very large. Only public figures are allowed; no harassment, creep-shots, witch-hunts, fat-shaming is allowed. Female bodybuilders are expressly forbidden and anyone making transphobic comments will be permanently banned. Identify the public figure in the title. Don't assume they are well known

3) No NSFW posts

No NSFW and NSFL content

This includes content that is sexual in nature, gory, anything unpalatable to the eyes.
Don't post pictures of private parts

Honestly, nobody comes here to see magnum dongs. Just don't.
Don't post pictures of shit

No one wants to see that. No dung, no dong. Dings are allowed.

4) No Recent or Common reposts

Frequent reposts or those from last 60 days or top 50 posts of all time will be removed.

We are in awe at the size of Absolute Units, and the only thing we love more is a fine lad who used to be an Absolute Unit and has become healthy!
