Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
"All of the experts were baffled as to what to do. With nearly 10% of the park’s total rhino population killed by teenage elephants park officials decided to try something never attempted before. Now, nearly 15 years after the culling in Kruger National Park they had discovered ways to transport full-grown elephants. They decided to bring in several large bulls and females from Kruger National Park that were in their mid to late 40’s as an experiment to see what the younger generation would do with an older one watching over them.
The largest bull, named Amarula was among them. In an elephant society an older male keeps a younger male in check because the younger male isn’t strong enough to fight with an older, larger one. Because of this his musth stage ends much sooner than that of an older, larger sexually viable male.
Almost immediately the younger males approached Amarula. Smaller elephants hero worship ones larger and older than they are. However when one is in a musth state he will go up and try to provoke even the largest elephants as was the case with a younger male. Amarula wasted no time and hit the younger elephant so hard in the stomach that he flew several feet up into the air. This served as a warning to the younger group, that they were no match for a male the size of Amarula, musth or no musth.
The killing stopped literally overnight. The adult elephant experiment worked with incredible precision. Soon all of the younger males were forced out of their musth phase simply by there being older males in the group. With no older males to serve as role models many of the young bulls were coming into musth much earlier and it was lasting longer. This was a significant finding since it showed that having older males around in an elephant society is what keeps younger, juveniles in check. It also keeps their musth stages much shorter and further apart. ... "
