Musth in Elephants: A period of peril

Musth is the natural process in male elephants where male hormone that is testosterone -fluctuate and shows behaviour changes such as aggression, dominance, and reproductive activity. The physiological, behavioural, and environmental elements that affect elephant musth in both the wild and in captivity are the main topics of this article. Difference between patterns in the wild and in captivity, and management techniques like behavioural, medicinal, and ethno veterinary approaches were also covered. This script explains how modern research and traditional methods help in understanding and managing musth in elephants, ensuring the safety of both the animals and the people around them.

Abstract

Musth is the natural process in male elephants where male hormone that is testosterone -fluctuate and shows behaviour changes such as aggression, dominance, and reproductive activity. The physiological, behavioural, and environmental elements that affect elephant musth in both the wild and in captivity are the main topics of this article. Difference between patterns in the wild and in captivity, and management techniques like behavioural, medicinal, and ethno veterinary approaches were also covered. This script explains how modern research and traditional methods help in understanding and managing musth in elephants, ensuring the safety of both the animals and the people around them.
