A male elephant
leaves their family group when they react to puberty.
Is my trunk long
enough?
They may live –
but will live alone
or with other males
because they only interact with the family group when looking for a
mate. They enter a selfish-
state of increased
testosterone and agression, which helps them gain dominance
over other males.
The irony of reproductive
success. An
evolutional stress
test. Sometimes, the
elephants even appear reassured and self-
aware. Even showing
concern for the dying
and the dead
individuals
of their family
groups.
Silly males were not
anti-social
after all. After
last call, younger men
were seen tagging
along,
lagging behind
the older males that
do not waste their time with stopping to notice if the moon
appreciates
how needlessly
complex they are.
