When Benjamin speaks, even wild bulls listen. These big boys may think they have the monopoly on the water troughs, but this behaviour doesn't fly on Benjamin’s watch. A simple word & wave of the arm signals when time is up for the bachelors - it's now the orphans' turn to drink.

And here’s an excellent example! The Matriarch had already crossed the river and sent an seismic message via infrasound of her low rumbles, transmitted through the earth! The freezing of the elephants movement, means they’re listening with their feet

This magnificent bull is named X004. He could not be assigned to any Amboseli family, most likely because he left at a young age. But he returns to Amboseli whenever he’s in musth and spreads his Tusker genes with the Amboseli females! 🐘ID @ElephantTrust
