Popis: musth twice in a year. Age of occurrence of first musth was 23.94 years, which is in confirmation with the findings of Steel (1889), Evans (1901), Jainudeen et al. (1972) and Chandrasekharan et al. (1989). Individual elephants continued to exhibit musth behaviour almost throughout the same season. The number of animals coming to musth showed definite peaks during January and August months (post monsoon periods of Kerala) when the atmospheric temperature is low (Eisenberg et al., 1971) and stress indicated by THSI is minimum.
