Rhulani Minute Safari - A musth elephant
Musth (or must) is a periodic condition in bull elephants, characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. Testosterone levels in an elephant in musth can be as much as 60 times greater than in the same elephant at other times. Musth elephants have thick secretions from their temporal glands (the duct from the temporal gland opens between the eye and the ear), and continuously dribble urine.
