Age and duration of rutting
1
0
The duration of male elephant rutting varies with age. The first rut, which occurs after 20 years, is brief and lasts only a few days. After 40 years, it can extend over 4 months. Elephants do not have a specific breeding season. The males in rut review the troop by smelling the vulvae of females to detect their heat.
