Hissy fit

The hissy fit of this agressive African elephant continues as it lets go a blast of dust and dirt from its raised trunk, Mabula, South Africa. This young male is probably in musth, a periodic event characterized by huge increases in testosterone level. Of interest, the presence of the dominant mature male in a herd, absent in this small population, will suppress the occurrence of musth in young males.
