Sri Lankan male Elephant

(Elephas maximus maximus)

Behold the majestic elephant, adorned with its temporal glands located behind the eyes. These glands, often seen secreting a fluid called temporin, play a vital role in signaling hormonal activity, particularly during musth in male elephants. Witnessing this natural phenomenon adds a deeper understanding of elephant behavior and the intricate mechanisms of the wild.
