Wise Old Elephants Keep the Young Calm

From:  The University of Exeter, performing research in Botswana.

The results were published December 22, 2021, and show that groups of male elephants show more aggression when not led by older male elephants.  When young male elephants are in charge and set the standards, aggression against vehicles, other animals, and even humans is more pronounced.  See https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/news/articles/wiseoldelephantskeeptheyo.html
