<strong>The</strong> <strong>very</strong> <strong>last</strong><br />
Few people have <strong>the</strong> privilege to make <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
passion <strong>the</strong>ir vocation. From early boyhood,<br />
however , Tony Sanchez Ariño was determined<br />
to become a pr<strong>of</strong>essional elephant hunter – and<br />
so he did. To day, at <strong>the</strong> ripe age <strong>of</strong> 76, he is still<br />
<strong>very</strong> active in his vocation , but now as a guide for<br />
modern -day sports hunters.<br />
He is <strong>the</strong> <strong>last</strong> survivor <strong>of</strong> a long line <strong>of</strong> famous<br />
characters who chose to make ivory hunting in<br />
Africa <strong>the</strong>ir living.
