The Mabenzi family and associating males are feeding on a tree that Gogogo, gm0001, in musth, has just felled. Gogogo is very tolerant of the females and calves feeding on his tree but less so of other males. He lunges at one who comes too close and the younger male flees and emits a loud Roar in protest. A few seconds after we can hear the rumble and trumpet, snort commentary of nearby elephants to the kurfuffle. (Gorongosa, Mozambique)
