摘要

如果成熟的雄象不在身边，孤儿雄性青少年就会疯狂杀戮。Musth是雄性大象性欲和攻击性活动增强的一种状态1,2。1992 年至 1997 年间，被引入南非皮兰内斯堡的非洲象（Loxodonta africana）孤儿杀害了 40 多头白犀牛（Ceratotherium simum）。从相对正常的克鲁格公园种群中引进六头年长的公象后，杀戮行为停止了。皮兰斯堡年轻公象的反常行为也因此得到纠正。

Older bull elephants control young males

Orphaned male adolescents go on killing sprees if mature males aren''t around. Musth is a state of heightened sexual and aggressive activity in male elephants1,2. Between 1992 and 1997, young orphaned musth male African elephants (Loxodonta africana) that had been introduced to Pilanesberg, South Africa, killed more than 40 white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The killing ceased after six older male elephants were introduced from the relatively normal Kruger Park population. The deviant behaviour of the young Pilanesberg males was rectified by the consequent reduction in musth.
