A bull elephant refers to a mature, adult male elephant. These elephants are known for their large size and significant role in elephant society, particularly in leading younger males and maintaining the structure of male herds
African bush elephant bulls can reach an average shoulder height of 3.04-3.36 meters (10.0-11.0 ft) and weigh between 5,200-6,900 kg (11,500-15,200 lb), according to Wikipedia. The largest recorded bull was even larger, reaching a height of 3.96 meters (13.0 ft) and an estimated weight of 10,400 kg (22,900 lb)
Role in Society: Bull elephants play a vital role in leading younger males and are often seen at the front of male groups, suggesting they possess valuable knowledge and experience. Studies suggest they have a similar role in male society as matriarchs in female herds
Role in Society: The loss of older bull elephants due to poaching or hunting can have significant negative impacts on the social structure and stability of elephant herds
Role in Society: Bull elephants inhabit both the African savanna (bush) and rainforest environments
