🔥 In the video, you can see a dark, oily streak running down the elephant's face. This comes from the temporal gland, and the secretion itself is often called temporin/musth 🔥
Musth is a periodic physiological state in healthy adult bull elephants characterized by a massive surge in testosterone—sometimes up to 60 times higher than normal. While it is a natural sign of health and virility, it turns even the most "gentle giant" into a very different animal.
