If you see an elephant with liquid oozing out of its sideburns, run the other way! When bull elephants are healthy, every year they'll enter their "musth" stage. While musthy, even the most docile pachyderms will be filled with raging hormones, a lot of pressure on their skulls, untrainable and completely out of control. This is a real problem especially in Asia, where elephants are domesticated, because musth can last for months! So how do zookeepers and elephant owners handle their testosterone-engorged elephants? In India, the bulls are tied down and put on starvation diets and given sedatives. This shortens musth to about a week. In other countries, the elephants are put into a pen for 1-2 months and sometimes given sedatives to deal with head pain. #🐘 #elephant #musth #peanuts #zoo #rage #hormones #rutting #madelephant #dumbo #endangeredspecies #anger #eating #food #headache #nature #comic #webcomic #animals #savetheelephants #amazingfacts #animalfacts #dailycomic #comicstrip #circus #mahout #heat #illustration #cartoon (at Seattle, Washington)
