Musth male elephant behavior - Mara Conservancy

In this short film we introduce a bit of musth male behavior through photos and video clips. The male, now registered as m0091 for an upcoming elephant ID database, was photographed in and around Mara Conservancy during January and February 2011 by Linda Porter, Cæcilie Willumsgård, Kerstin Bucher and Joyce and Petter of ElephantVoices, all of whom are contributing to the Elephant Partners initiative in the Mara ecosystem.
