1972: The Adult female with straight Tusks was named Alyce.

1973: During that period two new
calves were born: Annabelle and Alyce both had calves in early 1973.

1977-1979: Alyce conceived in June 1977 and gave birth to a male calf in April 1979.

1979: In June 1979, which was still the wet season, the AAs were way out of the Park on a seasonal Migration. They apparently ran into Maasai, who unusually for that year, decided to spear some elephants. Alyce was killed and both her newborn calf and Amy's were either killed or died as a result of the turmoil.
